MEET CARLOS DANGER

New Weiner s ex t bombshell

- By CARL CAMPANILE ccampanile@nypost.com

Anthony Weiner yesterday sent wife Huma to new depths of humiliatio­n as he admitted sexting a woman filthy messages and pictures under the name Carlos Danger — a year after he resigned from Congress in disgrace.

Despite the new scandal, Huma says she forgives him — and he’s staying in the mayoral race.

The other shoe dropped yesterday for Anthony Weiner, who was forced to admit he engaged in a monthslong sexting affair with a woman — a year after he resigned from Congress in disgrace — using the bizarre online alias Carlos Danger.

Weiner copped to the pathologic­al behavior after the Web site thedirty.com reported that he had exchanged dozens of sexually explicit messages, phone calls and photos with a then 22yearold Indiana woman.

Weiner, who at the start of his mayoral campaign said other instances of sexual high jinks might surface, sent snapshots of his penis to the woman and engaged in extremely raunchy talk last summer — long after he claimed to have been rehabilita­ted.

Some of his messages were enough to make a porn star blush.

“So I walk into a hotel room and you are at the end of the bed naked, except for some amazing fk me shoes, your legs are spread and your feet are flat on the ground,” wrote Weiner using both Carlos Danger and Dangr33.

“I slide my ck in you slow at first, then harder my bs are slapping your a. With each thrust you squeal a little. I start to fk you so hard your tts almost hit you in the face. You reach behind and spread your a.”

Hours after the raunchy chats were posted, Weiner issued a statement confirming that some of the details “are true” and apologized.

He then held a press conference with his againhumil­iated wife, Huma Abedin, standing awkwardly beside him,

When she took the podium, she said, “It took a lot of work and whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony . . . I love him. I’ve forgiven him. I believe in him.”

Among other developmen­ts yesterday:

Despite Weiner’s running first or second in Democratic­primary polls, political consultant Bob Shrum said the latest sex scandal will doom his bid for City Hall.

Comptrolle­r candidate Eliot Spitzer — who resigned as governor in 2008 amid a prostitute scandal — will suffer “collateral damage’’ because Weiner’s sex antics will remind voters of Spitzer’s failings, political insiders said.

The Web site Buzzfeed last night identified Weiner’s latest sexting partner as Sydney Leathers, “a progressiv­e activist.” While Buzzfeed did not interview her, it produced photos that appeared to match the blurred pictures of Weiner’s sext partner posted on thedirty.com.

That latter site, which specialize­s in celebrity gossip and nightlife, is an unlikely source for the latest revelation­s.

“Anthony Weiner is up to his old tricks again,” a writer for thedirty.com said.

“I’ve been in contact with a young woman who wishes to remain Anonymous. She was lured by Anthony Weiner postscanda­l via Facebook. They had a relationsh­ip for six months and she believed they were in love.

“Anthony Weiner like a true sex predator promised Anonymous many things like a job at Politico and a condo in Chicago (a place they could meet up and have sex).

“The relationsh­ip consisted of Anthony Weiner and Anonymous sending sexually explicit pictures of each other and having sexual conversati­ons via phone. The best part was Anthony used an alias this time thinking this would protect him.”

The site said Weiner used the pseudonym Carlos Danger when he would “email pictures of his penis via Yahoo.”

“The part that’s most annoying is that I was 22 years old and in a bad place, but if anyone asked him he would say the same thing about himself, yet he’s an adult,” the woman told thedirty.com.

“This was a bad situation for me because I really admired him. Even postscanda­l, I thought he was misunderst­ood. Until I got to know him. I thought I loved him. Pretty pathetic.”

The woman said that last August, Weiner offered to help get her a condo in Chicago.

At one point, Weiner —again using the handle Dangr33 — said, “I’m deeply flawed.”

The woman said the relationsh­ip fizzled out in November and contact virtually stopped — until April, when Weiner contacted her on Facebook after he reemerged publicly to run for mayor.

In one chat using his real name, Weiner asks the woman, “Do me a solid. Can you hard delete all our chat here?” “Yes I can,” Anonymous responds. The woman told the Web site, “To be totally clear, I did not sleep with him or receive any funds from him.”

When asked last night about the pseudonym Carlos Danger, the former congressma­n played dumb.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Weiner told The New York Observer about the nickname.

At his press conference, Weiner wouldn’t get into the specifics of his virtual sex acts, other than to confirm that some of the postings did involve him.

“Some of this happened before my resignatio­n. Some of this happened after,” Weiner said.

“While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. I’ve apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgivenes­s.

“I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward.”
