AYER, Mass. — Disgraced former Congressma­n Anthony Weiner has been released from federal prison in Massachuse­tts.

The New York Democrat, a once-rising star who also ran for mayor, was convicted of having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl in 2017.

He began serving a 21month prison sentence that November at the Federal Medical Center Devens, located about 40 miles west of Boston in Ayer, Mass.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons website now shows Weiner is in the custody of its Residentia­l Re-entry Management office in Brooklyn, N.Y. It’s not immediatel­y clear when he was transferre­d and where he’s currently staying.

The bureau website shows Weiner is slated to complete his sentence May 14.
