Former U.S. Rep. and full-time creep Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison after pleading guilty in May to sexting a North Carolina teen.

According to USA Today, Creepy Weiner, 53, cried as he read a written statement in Manhattan federal court in New York City. He claimed that he’d hit β€œrock bottom” and added that he was β€œa very sick man for a very long time.”

This isn’t the first time Creepy Weiner found himself balls deep in a cheating scandal. In 2011, just a year after his emphatic speech blasting Republican Congress members for voting against aid for first responders during the 9/11 terror attacks, the New York Democrat resigned amid scandalous claims that he’d exchanged β€œmessages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women” over a three-year span, USA Today reports.

Creepy Weiner married Huma Abedin, an aide for Hillary Clinton, in 2010, and the couple had a son in 2011. Things seemed to be going well for Creepy Weinerβ€”in 2013 he attempted a political comeback, running for mayor of New York, but that was short-lived when it was revealed that Creepy Weiner couldn’t stop being a fucking creep and had been sending dirty photos to a 22-year-old woman under the pseudonym β€œCarlos Danger.” Abedin filed for divorce in 2016 after Creepy Weiner pleaded guilty to sending obscene material to a minor.

Creepy Weiner asked the judge for probation, and his lawyer Arlo Devlin-Brown claimed in court papers that his client was β€œat the depths of an uncontrolled sickness,” USA Today reports.

β€œThe sentencing should also reflect the specifics of Anthony’s sickness, which Anthony has made enormous progress in addressing,” Devlin-Brown wrote.

Devlin-Brown also argued that the 15-year-old β€œinduced” the 53-year-old former Congress member and was merely β€œlooking to generate material for a book,” noting that she’d sold her story to a British tabloid for $30,000.
