The online sex chat scandal that has engulfed Anthony Weiner’s run for mayor of New York City began when a 22-year-old woman contacted Weiner on Facebook.
The woman, a Democrat from Indiana, wanted to “express her disappointment” with the first scandal that preceded Weiner’s resignation from Congress, the New York Times reported Wednesday. She had thought of Weiner as a hero.
Their correspondence veered from politics to include explicit photographs and sexual language, Nik Richie, the editor of The Dirty, told the NYT.
