SOFT ON WEINER
Huma Abedin never thought she’d have to ask a judge to go easy on her pervy husband for sexting a teenager — but being married to Anthony Weiner was a barrage of “circumstances I never imagined,” she revealed in court documents made public Thursday.
Abedin, who is in the midst of divorcing the lascivious ex-congressman, penned the letter asking federal Judge Denise Cote to consider the couple’s young son when sentencing Weiner on Sept. 25 for sending lewd messages to a 15-year-old girl.
“This is not a letter I ever imagined I would write, but, with Anthony, I have repeatedly found myself in circumstances I never imagined,” the longtime Hillary Clinton aide wrote.
Abedin made clear her plea had nothing to do with her sexaddicteddd hubby.
“Anthony and I have a wonderful son,” she wrote, calling Jordan, 5, “the light of our life.”
“It is for [him] that I write this letter.”
Abedin has been dragged through years of scandal since Weiner accidentally tweeted a picture of his underwearcouched erection in 2011.
Weiner mounted a comeback bid for New York mayor in 2013, but his prospects drooped when a woman named Sydney Leathers revealed that he had sent her raunchy messages under the pseudonym Carlos Danger.
Abedin finally filed for divorce this year after her hubby sobbingly admitted he had shared Xrated messages with the 15-yearold girl in 2016.
He took a plea deal in May, admitting to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor.
Weiner faces up to 10 years in prison for the salacious exchanges — though prosecutors are only recommending 21 to 27 months. Weiner has to register as a sex offender, too.
In his letter seeking leniency, the serial sexter claims his son has been his “salvation,” and “the only honest true part of me was my love for him” — even though Weiner was busted in 2016 for sending a woman photos of his crotch with his son, then 4 years old, in bed next to him.
His lawyers cast him as a “weak man” in a “self-destructive spiral” when he sent the lewd texts.
Weiner claims that he has emerged from sex therapy a changed man who needs to stay out of jail to teach his son how to be a man and respect women.
“I’m different now,” he wrote. “By not getting help, by continuing to dishonor his mother, by living in shame and secrets, I was not teaching him courage.
“But your honor, with your grace, I hope I will be able to tell him some more. I hope I will be there to show him with my actions that, although I will carry the regret, I will also be better.”
In the missive, Weiner told the judge that he was 345 days clean of “my destructive behaviors” and claimed he wants to start a nonprofit to help young people and ex-offenders break into the food industry.
Letters submitted on Weiner’s behalf included notes from a filmmaker and a rabbi, as well as his mother, Frances, and brother Jason, who said Weiner struggled to adjust, especially after his brother Seth’s death.
“Since he had never learned to modulate emotions like sadness, shame and anxiety, he could not appropriately react to events like his parents’ divorce when he was 22, Seth’s death, and his own misbehavior,” his mom wrote.
