Police Investigate Alleged Contact Between Rep. Anthony Weiner And Underage Delaware Girl

“Ethel’s” Twitter feed first raised suspicion in the early going of the Weinergate scandal when she tweeted that she was “talking” to Rep. Weiner on April 13. Fox News sources confirm that Rep. Weiner sent “Ethel” a private Direct Message, and while that has obviously raised suspicion, it could easily have been an automatically-generated message like the one sent to “Betty,” another underage follower of Rep. Weiner’s.


According to the girl’s Twitter feed, she asked Rep. Weiner to “follow back” on April 13, and that “some sickos” were trying to cast it in a sleazy light. She later tweeted these “sickos,” a Twitter group which included the person who first discovered the Friday night tweet that started it all, to “please stop.”

We attempted to contact “Ethel” when the Weinergate story first broke, but she did not respond.Rep. Weiner’s disclaimer that all of his illicit contacts were adults “as far as I know” gains import in this circumstance, although “Ethel’s” Twitter feed contains copious references to her high school age.She also expresses a keen interest in politics. “Ethel” also follows, and is followed by, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), although Schumer and Coons each follow several thousand people, as opposed to the approximately 200 that Weiner followed at the time this scandal broke. Fox News’ online report states that, following questioning, the police left, “followed by the daughter and mother, who left in a separate car. It was not clear if the mother and daughter were going to continue the conversation with police at another location.” If there’s any good news for Weiner to be read from that, it’s that the reporter did not note the police removing any computers, or other evidence, from the residence. The New Castle Police have not returned calls for comment, and their public information officer’s voicemail is full, so it could be some time before more details are known.

“As Shep Smith points out, the contact in question could be completely innocent. Weiner sent “Ethel” a private Direct Message, and while that has obviously raised suspicion, it could easily have been an automatically-generated message…”

Yea…nothing inspires so much love, passion and emotion than an automated tweet.

124. Sounds like "compassionate" conservatism with a twist of Randian nonsense.
Church bake sales and community center clothing drives cannot sustain a nation of 307+ MILLION. Life happens, and these "so-called safety net" programs actually work -- and Bernie agrees. Lucky for you that you live in Vermont, but the rest of us cannot squeeze in. Spend some time in NC for a dose of regressive reality, especially now that Republicans control both chambers of the legislature.

Unemployment nationwide just ticked up to 9.1% -- how do you suppose unemployed folks, especially the 99ers, are saving for retirement and medical emergencies? Not everyone has family they can rely on, and most don't want to wear out generosity from friends. There's a huge problem in this country in that many cannot look past their own situations to see how others are living, or suffering, as the case may be. Lack of empathy it is...as has been discussed on DU many, many times.

Yes indeed, LOL.

as a part of their sexting. Yet we're supposed to believe it was all innocent with this girl.

117. So talking about sex with an adult woman automatically
makes you guilty of talking about sex with an underage girl? Looks like every single man in the country will be on the sex offender registry. So will all the women. Won't that be fun.

This is just getting silly.

___________________________________

In light of how he talked about his cape and tights with Lisa Weiss (part of their sexting) it's hard to believe he wasn't doing the same thing with this girl, during their private messages.

14. I don't disagree he needs help, how can a grown man keep up with this foolishness
if he has been flirting and sexting with kids, perhaps some time in an institution would help.

I don't understand his compulsion, all I know is it looks like we lost a good Congressman.

girls(for their protection) who communicated with Weiner.
Looks like there might be his communication with each one on its way?
Or, it's just communications between the 2 girls about him?

to this website: http://patterico.com/2011/06/10/police-visit-ethel-2/

You will get the gist of what was going on involving those young girls.

Once the Maryland police finish their investigation (where they will have access to Weiner's account) things will be much clearer and easy to understand for those who aren't familiar with social media speak.

On the link that was pulled, it was clearly listed as one of hers.

I don't think we really can know anything, at this point. And the problem is, Weiner hasn't given us much reason for believing him.

involved. :shrug: Sexting a minor, would surely end his career, if not make him a criminal.

I think most Americans believe that there is a distinction between the 26 year old from Texas and a 17 year old from Delaware. I don't think anyone would want him to remain in office, if he sexted a 17 year old.

I very much hope there isn't anything to this.

36. You are missing the direct messages which are private. So...
that twitter stream was public and people talk cryptically on there. It is the DM's that talk much more blunt. In other words your missing half the story when you only have the public twitter feeds.

45. Maybe she had just had a private message from him that got her going.
And she also said something about having to "shut up." Maybe she was generally more careful to self-censor her public tweets.

74. It's hard to avoid puns in this situation, isn't it?
I keep having to stop myself.

No, I haven't heard anything about contacts like that, except with that one adult woman he encouraged to withhold the truth about their relationship.

78. Any idea who the sickos were?
Then it seems that Weiner may have cut off communicating with her, maybe he was on to something?

The talking seriously bit??????????


Ethel: Seriously talking to Representative Weiner from New York right now! Like is my life real?
13 Apr

patriotusa76: "@repweiner talking to high-school girls now. Freak."

Ethel: @sclancy cause representative weiner followed me back today and some sickos are trying to make a thing of it.
04/13/2011

Ethel: Seriously depressed that @RepWeiner doesn't follow me anymore. Yesterday was a great day!

Sorry, IMHO - jumping from Presidential aspirations to mustard lube tweets is a stretch. Sex In The City fan, or not. We'll have to agree to disagree. :D

And frankly, I'm nervous about that. The fact that the police are investigating makes me even more nervous. And, the fact that there is a sixth "woman" who is yet to be named, adds to my trepidation. However, the supposed online record(s) appear contrary from what I can tell.

I will say that I'm encouraged by one thing. According to news stories, a spokesperson (for the girl's family) said nothing inappropriate happened in their twitter exchanges. Hopefully, if nothing else, he behaved appropriately in this particular situation.

On edit, I just found this statement, which is reassuring: "They (police) were made aware of an alleged contact between Congressman Anthony Weiner and an area teen," said Officer Tracey Duffy, a New Castle County police spokeswoman, according to the AP. "The teen has been interviewed and disclosed no information regarding any criminal activity."

"The teen has been interviewed and disclosed no information regarding any criminal activity."

the teen didn't disclose any info.

Does that mean that they won't know until they review the messages?

Weiner there?
Thought I had read that one of them did.
The politics, presidential wish might then be from having met him, a recent occurrence.
So leave politics out of the equation and we've got LeBron, band, and sleep...why not mustard lube?
I don't know what each young age group gets into, look at the recent problem with snorting bath salts?

A woman has been awarded a staggering $95 million in compensation in a sexual harassment case against her former employers - believed to be America's highest ever payout. Ashley Alford said she was assaulted by a store manager at Aaron's furniture store
<snip>

Prosecutors alleged Richard Moore - who is still awaiting trial - would pinch Miss Alford and make inappropriate comments before the 2006 attack.

They say on two occasions he hit her on the head with his penis.

105. Bill Maher might be referring to the photo that Biertbart
supposedly has of Weiner wacking himself?

Taken from a DU thread


Congressman Anthony Hand?

According to Bill Maher, he is no longer worthy of being called a "Weiner". He's not a closer. He doesn't get a love child. He doesn't get to hike the Appalachian Trail. He doesn't get a blow job. He gets a hand job. From his own hand. It's just not worthy.

106. Sorry, fail.
Weiners ill-advised mutual masturbatory relationship with person A - a flirty forty-ish female - shouldn't automatically be assumed to have any bearing on his relationship with an unrelated person B - Ethel, the teenager in Delaware. Especially when you consider that the way most people use Twitter, they never meet most of the they follow or most of the people that follow them, and never expect to.

And secondly - just because a male may be interested in sex doesn't mean he's a sexual predator.

Stop trying to make this into something it isn't - and stop doing the Republican's work for them.

jerking off, yet to be released.

This has nothing to do with the sexting that Bill and Jane so hilariously quoted, or any texting/sexting? with the young girls.
The boy got around.

your talking points are useless,Weiner made this what it is from his actions and lies, and it has nothing to do with the Republicans.
So what if they get the thrills from watching him be exposed (no pun intended..lol) most dems do the same when a republican gets caught..
