The Anthony Weiner sexting scandal, also dubbed Weinergate, is a scandal that began when married Democratic U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner used the social media website Twitter to send a sexually suggestive picture of his boxer brief–clad erect penis to a 21-year-old Washington State woman. After several days of denying he had posted the image and saying his account had been "hacked", he admitted to having sent sexually explicit photos and messages to about six women over a three-year period, both before and after his marriage. He denied ever having met, or having had a physical relationship with, any of the women.
