Indiana Rep. Justin Moed is apologizing for sexting with Sydney Leathers, the Evansville woman at the center of the 2013 Anthony Weiner sexting scandal.

"I am truly sorry I have hurt the ones I love most with my poor judgment. I am committed to rebuilding trust with my family and my community. This is a private matter and I ask for it to be treated as such. I apologize to my constituents and to everyone I have let down," Moed said in a written statement sent to The Indianapolis Star.

... TheDirty.com reported Tuesday that Moed responded to an ad Leathers posted seeking a submissive she could "financially dominate." Texts Leathers provided to the site show a photo allegedly of Moed's naked backside. The site reports that Moed's name was accidentally included on a pink leash and collar he bought for Leathers on Amazon.com, which is how she reportedly determined his identity.

... Moed is serving his second term as a Democrat representing much of Downtown Indianapolis. Before that he worked as an Indiana House staffer.

1. I still don't get it-- what's to apologize for?

[PersonNumber503602]

5. It annoys me when people think they need to apologize to their constituents

Unless these elected officials are committing a sexual crime, I personally don't care what they do. The only people they need to apologize to are their families and people directly affected by it. Perhaps even not apologize if that's what them and their significant other are into.

14. Possibly to his fiancee...

...but the headline is directed at the Puritan in all of us, it seems.

[TreasonousBastard]

15. That's between thwo of them and...

I really don't want to know anything about it.

2. WTF is wrong with these public servants. I also need to wonder if Ms. Leathers is a republican

plant like a Lewinsky

[7962]

9. You think Lewinsky was a 'republican plant"? Really?

[still_one]

13. of course I don't know, but she was certainly manipulated by them

[former9thward]

16. How was she manipulated?

She said nothing. It was an grossly inappropriate relationship between POTUS and a young intern. If it was in the private sector the CEO would have been fired and there would be an EEOC charge against the company.

17. Have you heard of Tripp and Golldberg? I am not

Referring to the inappropriateness of it, though that is not what he was impeached on, he was impeached for lying

At that time there was Livingston, Vitter, Ginrich and a whole group of them with inappropriate behavior

I am not condoning Clintons sleeze, but Lewinky had a goal with her "knee pads"

Bill Clinton was a fool and a sexual harasser

[former9thward]

18. Well I do agree with all of that post.

[BojackFan]

20. I DO NOT want to know

who planted the stain on the dress.

3. seeking a submissive she could "financially dominate." - That describes Wall Street's relationship

with Washington. No wonder he jumped on the opportunity.

4. Wonder how much The Dirty paid Leathers?

Could be quite lucrative.

8. Time for another $40k surgery ?

10. Trying to be civil here, but SHE gets this kind of attention??

If thats the case, I know several women who could bring down the entire government.

[Tom Ripley]

19. The Weiner sexting partner I know is much more attractive than that

Leathers woman. Even after all of that work.

[NaturalHigh]

6. This Sydney Leathers must be something else.

I mean she got a state representative to reply to an ad saying that she wanted to "financially dominate" him?

Dang...

[giftedgirl77]

7. Why can't these ppl just have their fun?

I don't get what financially dominate means but unless the guy's married let him sext & be dominated all he wants.

[geek tragedy]

11. Their job is to not get caught or revealed

Seriously, how stupid is this guy?

[christx30]

12. If I were a politician, I'd be

paranoid as hell about female attention. I'd just assume that every woman out there that flirts with me is a plant by the opposition party to destroy me. That'd be the only explanation.

21. elected public officials don't have private matters when the those matters are made public.
