Disgraced US ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner released from prison after being convicted of sexting 15-year-old
- Weiner is slated to complete his sentence on May 14, a few months earlier than scheduled because of good conduct in prison
Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner has been released from federal prison after being convicted of having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl in 2017.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website shows the 54-year-old New York Democrat is currently in the custody of its Residential Re-entry Management office in Brooklyn, New York.
It is not immediately clear when Weiner was transferred and where he is staying now, but Weiner will have to register as a sex-offender and spend three years on supervised release under the terms of his sentence.
The prison bureau, federal prosecutors in New York and Weiner’s lawyer did not respond to emails seeking comment on Sunday.
Weiner began serving a 21-month prison sentence at the Federal Medical Centre Devens, located about 64km west of Boston in Ayer, Massachusetts, in November 2017.
The bureau website shows Weiner is slated to complete his sentence on May 14, a few months earlier than scheduled because of good conduct in prison.
