Anthony Weiner, the former congressman convicted of sexting with a 15-year-old girl, has been released from a federal prison in Massachusetts to a transitional facility in New York and must register as a sex offender.
Weiner, 54, pleaded guilty in May 2017 to transferring obscene material to a minor. Four months later, he was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website says Weiner was transferred from the Federal Medical Center in Devens to a Residential Re-Entry Management facility in Brooklyn. Weiner, who has a release date of May 14, most likely will serve out his time in a halfway house or home confinement.
Weiner must register as a sex offender and spend three years of supervised release.
Prosecutors said the teen initiated the communications with Weiner via Twitter in January 2016.
