WEINER POPS OUT

Carlos Danger no longer doing hard time

- By CEDAR ATTANASIO, BRUCE GOLDING and LIA EUSTACHEWI­CH

Anthony Weiner has gone from hard time to a Bronx halfway house after his conviction for sexting an underage girl.

But even a registered sex offender’s got to eat — and The Post was there Sunday as Weiner popped out from his new Bronx digs to grab a delivery order.

Wearing his signature Mets baseball cap, the 54-year-old disgraced ex-congressma­n — who served 15 months of a 21month federal prison sentence for sexting with the 15year-old — briefly exited to greet a food deliveryma­n carrying his $22.50 order.

Weiner will serve out the next three months in the Bronx facility before being released outright in May with an accumulate­d three months off for good behavior.

On the menu for Weiner was hearty Italian fare from Brother’s Pizza a few blocks away. He ordered a $9.50 dish of homemade lasagna and $10 penne alla vodka with grilled chicken, along with two Snapples at $1.50 apiece.

“Hold on a second here. Hold on a second. They’re in here?” Weiner asked the deliveryma­n at around 2 p.m. after he was handed a large pizza box and brown paper bag, with straws poking out, at the door of the GEO Care Inc., fa- cility in Fordham Heights.

“Everything’s in there,” the worker answered.

The food exchange took place right next to a sign that reads in all caps: “You May Not Bring Food or Beverages Into This Facility. Stop. No Exceptions!!”

After grabbing his food, Weiner couldn’t beat it fast enough.

“How you doing, buddy? Not allowed to talk, I’m sorry, my friend,” he told a Post reporter with a meek smile before ducking back inside.

The former politician left a paltry $2.50 tip on his online order, employees said.

The convicted pervert — dressed in a blue fleece zip-up and baggy navy sweat pants — spent the bulk of his sentence at the Federal Medical Center in Devens, Mass.

Federal Bureau of Prisons records show he was transferre­d from the lockup to the halfway house under the Residentia­l Reentry Management program.

Before Weiner emerged Sunday, his visibly impatient deliveryma­n — coincident­ally named Carlos, given Weiner’s sexting alter-ego was Carlos Danger — paced back and forth while calling the fallen politician repeatedly and asking passers-by how to get in.

A restaurant receipt obtained by The Post showed no name on Weiner’s order — just an address, phone number and direction to “ring the silver buzzer.”

“He wasn’t answering his phone,” Carlos later groused about Weiner, saying he had no idea he was delivering to the infamous sext addict.

“He’s a f--king pervert,” Carlos said after being told.

Weiner is set to be released from federal custody May 14.

His political career flamed out starting in 2011, when he resigned from Congress after being forced to admit sending lewd photos to women he’d met online.

Two years later, his comeback bid for mayor was torpedoed by revelation­s he sexted with a woman under the pseudonym Carlos Danger.

His creepy behavior took a more disturbing turn in 2016 when he started up an online relationsh­ip with the teen — despite knowing full well that she was underage.

The fall from grace was capped in May 2017, when he pleaded guilty to exchanging X-rated texts with the North Carolina teen.

“I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse,” Weiner sobbed in court at the time.

After the halfway house, Weiner will spend three years on supervised release, pay a $10,000 fine and register as a sex offender.

Neither BOP nor Weiner’s lawyers returned messages seeking comment.
