Anthony Weiner’s prison sentence for sexting an underage girl is over. The former Democratic congressman from New York, whose political career was dashed as a result of his conviction, told the media gathered outside the Bronx halfway house that had become his home, “I hope to be able to live a life of integrity and service and to be getting back to my family. I’m glad this chapter of my life is behind me.”

As a Level 1 sex offender, he must register as a sex offender for 20 years; he will be required to verify his address every year, and must report to the police to have his picture taken every three years, according to state regulations.

Weiner started serving his 21-month prison sentence in November 2017 after pleading guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. His sentence was reduced by three months due to good behavior.
