New York Rep. Anthony Weiner resigned from office in 2011 after sending inappropriate online messages to several women. Campaigning for New York City mayor, Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin held a press conference on July 23, 2013 after new photos and messages emerged, derailing his comeback. Weiner’s continued sexting led to the separation from his wife in 2016 after he sent a photo that appeared to include his young son and a federal investigation was launched into allegations that he messaged a 15-year-old girl.
