September 21, 2016By Taegan Goddard
Anthony Weiner carried on a months-long online sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl during which she claims he asked her to dress up in school-girl outfits for him on a video messaging application and pressed her to engage in rape fantasies,' the Daily Mail reports.
The girl
said the online relationship began last January while she was a high school sophomore and before Weiners wife, Hillary Clintons aide Huma Abedin, announced she was ended their marriage.
When confronted with the claims, Weiner did not deny exchanging flirtatious messages with the teen.

(82,849 posts)Compare and contrast the party's treatment of Anthony Weiner (dropped him like a hot rock) versus the party's treatment of, say, Mark Foley, who's still an honored guest at Republican political rallies. Or Newt Gingrich. Or . . . well, you get the idea.

What's the latest on the lawsuit? Anything since another witness?
Maru Kitteh
(28,340 posts)And very worthy of starting another thread on. I for one would love to know more about that case like why it is civil instead of criminal, the circumstances surrounding it, etc. You should locate a story from a credible source on that story and start a thread, I'd love to read it.
But this is not the place for that story really. This thread is about AW, and his victims - starting with this underage girl, and his poor beleaguered family.
I'm just not fond of dismissing the impact on this young victim of a predatory act by AW. It's not acceptable to dismiss the trauma to victims of predators like this by saying "coulda been worse" or "at least he didn't do what predator X did."

(9,008 posts)As far as I know, he never touched her; never got any money from her, or paid her; I don't think our laws are up-to-date enough yet to legislate this kind of thing.
Maybe there is a body of law I'm not familiar with.

(21,506 posts)This guy is going to end up in prison over text messaging. I can't even fathom what would be so compelling to destroy your life over texts.
I can somewhat understand physical encounters but texting your way to prison I just don't get at all.

"I can somewhat understand physical encounters but texting your way to prison I just don't get at all."
I'm hoping you will think about the meaning of what you said there, because I don't think it can be explained in any way that should make anyone comfortable with a sentiment like that. If I'm wrong, show me.
Hint: He's not going to jail for texting, any more than rape is "having sex."
