58. I don't believe Weiner received any pornographic images

Fri Dec 16, 2016, 12:47 AM

Dec 2016

If he had child pornography that is definitely a federal crime. However, from what I've read, Weiner sent images but didn't receive any. Obviously, investigators claimed that there was a crime there, or they wouldn't have investigated. I don't know which one though. I don't see anything illegal about it except some state charge about corrupting the morals of a minor or something similar. If you know something about this, could you please tell me the law they claim was violated?
