New York mayoral candidate and former Rep. Anthony Weiner confirmed as real some newly emerged, sexually tinged online exchanges he had with an unnamed woman.
"As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress," Weiner said in a statement. "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong."
While Weiner did not reference the specific allegations, screenshots of conversations and photographs appeared on a gossip website that were allegedly between Weiner and the woman in August 2012, a year after Weiner resigned from Congress amid a sexting scandal. CNN has not independently confirmed the messages.
"I said that the other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," he said Tuesday.
