As previewed last week in "Prosecutors Demand 2-Year Prison Sentence For Anthony Weiner", with Weiner having already agreed to serve prison time for sending explicit message to a teenage girl as described in painful detail in "Prosecutors Unveil Full Details Of Anthony Weiner's Pedophilia" today's sentencing was merely a formality.
And, as Reuters reports, moments ago, Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison for his latest, and hopefully final, breakout of pedophilia, which according to Hillary Clinton may have cost her the election:

Weiner had faced up to 10 years in the slammer for his lewd conversations with a 15-year-old girl whom his defense team blamed for purposefully trying to entice Weiner into making improper, sexual comments. Weiner reportedly walked into Manhattan Federal Court this morning without saying a word, or acknowledging any questions from the press.
The Daily News reported that there was no sign of the top aide to Hillary Clinton at Manhattan Federal Court as sentencing of Weiner got underway. Prosectors ask that he serve about two years behind bars for sending obscene messages to a North Carolina 15-year-old. Weiner, 53, wore his wedding band to sentencing though he and Abedin are in the middle of divorcing. Abedin had asked the judge to seal parts of the proceedings to protect their young son, a request that was denied.
FBI agents seized Weiner’s laptop after finding emails from Clinton’s private email server on his hard drive, prompting Director James Comey to announce that the investigation had been reopened a week before the election. Clinton has blamed Weiner – along with Comey, Bernie Sanders, misogyny and many other factors – for costing her the election.
Weiner copped to a plea deal in May where he pled guilty to federal obscenity charges. He may need to register as a sex offender after his release.
