Anthony Weiner Seeks Sentencing Delay For Underage Sexting

Anthony Weiner is facing prison time for sexting with a minor — but now the pervy politician is trying to wrangle a delay in his sentencing!

Court papers show that Weiner — the disgraced husband of Hillary Clinton's close aide Huma Abedin — is asking for a sentencing delay from Sept. 8 to Oct. 8. The attorney for the sex-addicted former Congressman says that'll give his client a chance to beg for a prison sentence that "addresses the need for continuing treatment."

After a series of sick sex scandals where Weiner tried to arrange extramarital affairs, the failed NYC mayoral candidate finally went too far when he tried to seduce an underage girl into exchanging dirty pictures over the internet. He pleaded guilty in May to knowingly exchanging obscene materials with a minor.

An angry Huma finally filed for divorce shortly afterwards — although sources told The National ENQUIRER that the couple is still very close. Their first divorce hearing is still set for Sept. 13. It was originally scheduled for June, but was changed to follow Weiner's sentencing.
