Weiner released from prison:

-

Disgraced former Congressma­n Anthony Weiner has been released from federal prison after being convicted of having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl in 2017.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons website shows the 54-year-old New York Democrat is currently in the custody of its Residentia­l Re-entry Management office in Brooklyn, New York.

It’s not immediatel­y clear when Weiner was transferre­d and where he’s staying now, but Weiner will have to register as a sex-offender and spend three years on supervised release under the terms of his sentence.

The prison bureau and Weiner’s lawyer didn’t respond to emails seeking comment Sunday. Federal prosecutor­s in New York referred an inquiry to the prison bureau. Weiner began serving a 21-month prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center Devens, located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Boston in Ayer, Massachuse­tts, in November 2017.
