A key break came when, utilizing an array of sophisticated forensic techniques, we uncovered the girls true identity. We verified that we had the right person with four individuals close to or connected to her including her former teacher and her own mother. By identifying the girl, we were then able to learn a great deal about her and her family. And that in turn led to the discovery of the lies.
The young woman has since turned 18, but because she was a minor at the time, we have decided not to publicly identify her.
Here are some of the key issues our investigation raises and the corresponding evidence:
Issue #1: The girl wasnt really 15
.
According to the media accounts of this story and Weiners plea deal, the girl had not attained the age of 16 years.
However, our research shows that the girl was in fact not 15 and a sophomore as the Daily Mail reported, when she initiated contact with Weiner. A court record shows that she was just shy of her 17th birthday at the time she approached him.
In addition, her extensive social media footprint provides further evidence. For example, she posted a picture in 2014 on her 15th birthday after having been given a North Carolina learners permit.
