Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner has been released
from prison and is now part of the federal re-entry program in
New York as he awaits his full release later this spring.

Weiner, who was convicted for sexting a 15-year-old girl from
North Carolina and sentenced to 21 months behind bars, has been
transferred from Federal Medical Center in Massachusetts into
the care of New York’s Residential Re-entry Management program.

While a staff member at New York’s RRM in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park
neighborhood was unable to provide Fox News with Weiner’s exact
whereabouts, it is believed that he is serving the remaining
time of his sentence in a halfway house or in home confinement
before his official release on May 14.

ANTHONY WEINER SENTENCED TO 21 MONTHS IN PRISON IN TEEN SEXTING
CASE

Good conduct while in prison has shaved off about three months
from his sentence. He will spend three years on supervised
release and will have to pay a $10,000 fine as well as register
as a sex offender.

Once a prominent star in the Democratic Party, Weiner’s
political career began to unravel in 2011 when he resigned from
Congress after admitting to sending an X-rated photo and
engaging in inappropriate relationships with women online. While
he attempted a comeback in 2013 when he ran for New York City
mayor, that campaign went off the tracks when it was revealed
that he had sexted with another woman under the pseudonym
“Carlos Danger.”

In 2017, he was busted for texting with a high school girl and
eventually sentenced to time behind bars.

U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote issued the sentence in
federal court in New York.

“This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment,” Cote
said in a statement.

During his sentencing, Weiner wept openly and read from a
prepared statement for several minutes, describing himself as
“an addict” and calling his crime “rock bottom.” He said he has
a “disease,” but it is not an “excuse.”
