The man who wants to be NY mayor and the many virtual affairs.

Anthony Weiner has admitted that he started three different virtual relationships with women after he resigned from Congress following his Twitter sexting scandal in 2011. 

Meanwhile, the woman who released the latest slew of explicit sex messages and naked pictures has said that she was truly in love with the disgraced former Congressman during their six-month virtual affair. 

Sydney Leathers, now 23, spoke out for the first time since her identity was revealed that she believed the feelings to be mutual, but now she is 'disgusted by him'. 

A preview of her interview with Inside Edition was released shortly after Weiner held a press conference on Thursday afternoon where he disclosed an approximate break down of his sexting timeline, just hours after the latest poll revealed he has lost his front-runner lead in the New York City mayoral race.

New York Magazine reports that at a press conference on Thursday, Weiner said 'it's six to ten (women) I suppose' as the total number of women he has had virtual relationships with in his lifetime.

When asked to clarify how many of those relationships started after he resigned from Congress in June 2011, he said: 'I don't believe more than three'. 

The renewed discussion about his sexual indiscretions was prompted by Leather's decision to release screen grabs of their conversations to gossip site The Dirty as well as pictures of his genitals, all of which were exchanged more than one year after he resigned from Congress. 

His drop in the polls comes as Weiner confirmed he had virtual relationships with three women after his 2011 resignation from Congress and between six and ten similar situations prior to leaving office. 

Now this is the story as I know it. This man, Anthony Weiner was a congressman in the United State of America. In 2011 he was forced to reign after news was leaked of him having, wait for it, virtual affairs with several women. Yes virtual, he never really met any of them, he just sent them text messages and pics and they did like-wise. It called Sexting . He is married to Huma Abedin, you ask who she is? Well she is currently a director working on the transition team of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Basically, she is a special assistance to Hillary Clinton, helping Hillary prepared for a possible presidential move.

Fast forward to 2013. He was again caught Sexting and his lovely wife Huma Abedin has come out to stand by him as he runs for the mayor of New York.
