Former Congressman Anthony Weiner Checks Into Rehab Facility

The DailyMail.com reported on Wednesday that discredited former U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner has checked into a rehab facility that minister to sex addiction.

The online version of the British newspaper said electronic devices are banned at the facility, which

The facility segregates men from women. It treats a variety of addictions associated with anonymous sex, exhibitionism and cyber-sex and other acts. Electronics devices are also prohibited from the facility, the online version of the British newspaper said. The facility was not named in the report.

Weiner could not be reached for comment.

Last month, New York police and Federal prosecutors revealed they were investigating Weiner after a separate report by the DailyMail.com. It said he took part in sexually explicit online and cellphone messages with a 15-year-old girl from North Carolina.

Weiner, 52, told the Associated Press last month that he had “likely been the subject of a hoax.” But he did not respond at the time when Reuters’ requested for comment regarding the texting report.

An investigation into those messages also prompted a new FBI probe of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails. Sources close to the matter said some of her emails were discovered on a device connected to the Weiner investigation,

Weiner was once a popular congressman but resigned in 2011. This was after disclosing he had inadvertently sent a lewd picture over Twitter. His campaign for New York City mayor two years later was disrupted after explicit photos he had sent to a young woman in Indiana under the alias “Carlos Danger” surfaced.

Latest scandal triggers separation

After yet another scandal, Huma Abedin, Weiner’s wife and one of Clinton’s top aides, said in August that she was separating from her husband.

Abedin made her announcement after the New York Post reported that Weiner sent photos of his boxer-brief-clad genitals to another woman thru Twitter.

Abedin’s attorney could not immediately be reached to comment on the DailyMail.com report.
