Perv reports to prison – psych test due
ANTHONY WEINER has ditched Carlos Danger and T-Dog for yet another alias: federal inmate 79112-054.
Weiner, 53, reported Monday to Federal Medical Center Devens, in Ayer, Mass., to begin serving a 21-month term for sexting with a teen girl, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed.
Devens is one of only nine federal prisons that offers sex offender treatment and is the facility closest to New York.
On his first day in prison, Weiner was expected to start a fourweek orientation, meet staff and get a tour of the compound. Also on the list for new inmates: a “thorough physical examination” and psychological tests, according to a 2011 orientation handbook.
Prison correction officers will confirm Weiner’s presence five times a day.
Weiner is expected to participate in the prison’s “Sex offender Management Program,” which encourages participants to “change their criminal lifestyle and become honest, responsible and law-abiding citizens with effective self-control skills,” according to a 2004 document from the prison.
His cell will be routinely searched for any pornographic contraband that could exacerbate a program participant’s “sexual deviance.”
That means no photos or drawings of a nude or partially nude child or adult, no sex toys and no materials depicting sexual violence.
He’ll likely remain in program throughout his stay. the
“Program participants do not ‘graduate’ from the program because sex-offender management is viewed as an ongoing process that continues well beyond an individual’s release,” prison officials wrote.
Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, 41, did not accompany Weiner on his trip to Devens. Abedin, who has filed for divorce, was spotted in New York on Monday with the couple’s 5-year-old son.
In 2015, Weiner notoriously sexted a picture of his bulging underwear — while his son slept next to him. His sexting habit derailed his career as a congressman, as well as his bid for mayor of New York — but it was his messages with a 15-year-old girl that landed him in prison.
Weiner repeatedly encouraged the girl, who made plain she was underage, to get naked and fondle herself while he watched via Skype, court papers show.
The city resident, once a rising star in the Democratic Party, tearily told Judge Denise Cote at his sentencing, “I was a very sick man for a very long time.”
Weiner wore his wedding band at the proceeding, but he was unlikely to be able to have it with him in prison.
Devens’ policy says inmates can only wear plain wedding bands valued at less than $100.
