A few years passed and as Weiner began a mayoral campaign more pictures were released and he once again admitted to sexting as many as three other women since the last incident.

Chris Lee, another New York politician was caught in the act sending nudie photos and sexy messages via Craigslist. The insane thing about this scandal is that he did not use a fake name or bogus email. He used his real name and his congressional email address. The recipient, Yesha Callahan, a single, 34-year-old African-American designer, said she posted on Craigslist “just for fun. Too see what kind of men would send me their pictures because dating in D.C. sucks.”
