Weiner Faces Sexting Claim From Girl, but He Calls It a Hoax
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Sep 21, 2016, 8:29 PM ET
Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner has acknowledged he communicated online with a girl who accused him of sending sexually explicit messages, but he said he's also been the subject of a hoax.
An online news outlet, DailyMail.com, on Wednesday published an interview with the 15-year-old girl, who said the online text and video exchanges, including Skype chats in which Weiner asked her to undress and touch herself, went on for several months this year.
The Daily Mail also published screen grabs of texts provided by the girl, whose identity it didn't disclose.

The girl told the Daily Mail she told her father and a teacher about the relationship last spring.
Weiner gave The Associated Press an email, purportedly written by the girl to her teacher, in which she recanted her story.
