According to the New York Post, the latest sexting scandal was at least the third publicly-revealed episode involving the former lawmaker.

The first scandal happened in 2011 when a revelation surfaced that Weiner had been sending lewd photos and messages to different women. The issue caused him to resign from Congress and ruined his political career. The second scandal was revealed in 2013, which derailed his attempt to make a political comeback.

The New York Post revealed that in the latest sexting scandal, former congressman sent multiple explicit photos to a 40-something busty brunette divorcee out West for the past 19 months. The same report also claimed that this happened while Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife and Hillary Clinton's top aide, is busy campaigning for her boss.

The report further hinted that Weiner and his alleged female virtual friend in sexting escapade exchanged photos that include an image of the woman wearing a red lace dress with a cleavage-baring layout and a shot showing her in a pair of black tights with a rip near the rear midline.

Weiner, on the other hand, sent his half-naked pictures along with the most controversial crotch shot where his toddler son Jordan is seen sleeping  on the same bed .

Upon learning the latest sexting scandal, his wife, through a statement quoted by the New York Times, said: "After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy."
