Former Congressman Anthony Weiner could face seven years in jail if he’s convicted of the explicit sexual exchanges with a 17 year old minor student of which he is undoubtedly guilty. Not only that, but the House Ethics committee has already begun an inquiry into Weiner’s relationships with several other women.
So far, Weiner [appropriate name] has admitted to sending messages to an underage high school student, but refuses to admit what was inside those texts. But since others have already come forward with sexual messages from Weiner, there’s a very high probability that his texts to that underage girl also contained explicit sexual material.
If that’s the case, and he gets convicted for it, he could face up to seven years in jail. A high powered NY attorney spoke to Radar Online, saying, “If the District Attorney decides to investigate Mr. Weiner over his messages to a minor, he could land in very hot water. Under New York State law, Mr Weiner could face criminal prosecution for Dissemination of Indecent Material To Minors. For the second degree charge, one just has to send the communication, they do not have to invite or induce a minor to engage in sexual relations. This is a Class E felony which can carry 1.5 to 4 years state prison, plus 3 to 10 post release supervision. Alternately, 5 year felony probation is available.”
Of course, he was a congressman and still has a lot of pull so I doubt he’ll actually end up with the maximum penalty, but it’s good to know that the justice system isn’t letting him get away with this.
Weiner is currently taking a ‘leave of absence’ to deal with his issues, but the House committee has already begun their inquiry into this scandal.
Do you think Weiner should get the maximum penalty and go to jail? Are you pleased that the creep is still a popular consultant? Is it possible in America to actually punish a rich well-connected person the same way they would anyone else? Do you think he will get convicted? Let us know in the comments.
