Pervy ex-pol Anthony Weiner repeatedly directed a 15-year-old girl to strip and “touch herself” during video chats, prosecutors said Wednesday.
That, among other reasons, are why the feds want the erstwhile “Carlos Danger” to serve from 21 to 27 months in prison.
Weiner admitted on May 19 to transmitting obscene material to a minor. His devastated wife, Huma Abedin, filed for divorce the same day he pleaded guilty.
The roughly two-year sentence push keeps the government’s plea deal with Weiner, but a judge could lock him up for 10 years at his sentencing on Monday.
In a new filing, the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office rejected a request from Weiner’s lawyers that he get probation, outlining lurid details about Weiner’s seedy exchanges with the teen.
Shortly after they began sexting on Jan. 23, 2016, Weiner learned he was talking to a high schooler, but still “participated in increasingly suggestive exchanges.”
By February, their communications “grew more lascivious,” prosecutors said in court papers.
“With full knowledge that he was communicating with a real 15-year-old girl, the defendant asked her to engage in sexually explicit conduct via Skype and Snapchat, where her body was on display, and where she was asked to sexually perform for him,” they wrote.
The details in the girl’s texts, such as getting a learner’s permit, showed there could be “no reasonable doubt in Weiner’s mind that he was chatting with a minor.”
“She explained in Facebook chats that she has ‘parents that wouldn’t approve of some of the things’ she does, and that she likes ‘older guys,’ The defendant correctly observed, ‘You are young,’ in one Kik message,” court papers state.
In three video chat sessions, Weiner (photo) “used graphic and obscene language to ask the minor victim to display her naked body and touch herself, which she did.”
“He also sent an obscene message to the minor victim on (the messaging app) Confide, describing what he would do to her, if she were 18,” prosecutors wrote. “Part and parcel of these disturbing — and criminal — exchanges, the defendant also sent the minor victim adult pornography.”
While Weiner’s path from U.S. congressman to convicted felon “is indisputably sad, his crime is serious and his demonstrated need for deterrence is real,” prosecutors said in their sentencing memo. “The noncustodial sentence that Weiner proposes is simply inadequate; his crime deserves time in prison.”
Prosecutors also rejected Weiner’s position that the 53-year-old’s perverse exchanges with the North Carolina high school student had nothing to do with sexual interest in teenagers — because all of his prior sexting partners were adults.
“Weiner acknowledged that the age of the victim did matter to him,” they noted.
Weiner’s lawyer declined to comment.
