I don't understand your point. Why doesn't he deserve prison time? I used to be a teacher. Several underage girls came on to me. That makes no difference. I was supposed to be the mature one. I would have deserved prison if I had taken any of these girls up on their offers.
If you take them up on their offer yes but weiner didnt touch the girl. He was also sexting several other older women when he flirted with this one. Also if the girl was acting like an adult drinking and sexing she is more likely to make immoral choices than an adult who does not.
You are talking about things the girl did that, you feel, make her partially responsible for Weiner's behaviour and thus, you seem to feel, that sonce she is partially responsible, Weiner doesn't deserve harsher or any punishment.
Most sexual crimes involving minors don't work on the theory of "contributory negligence" (which is reallly a concept that applies more to torts than crimes anyway). The basic understanding in the law is that minors do not have the capacity for informed consent to certain sexual behaviours. For example, possession of a naked picture of a minor is child porn whether or not the minor consented to the taking and giving of the photo, i.e. that even their apparent willing involvement cannot be read as "consent". Some crimes are "statutory" in the sense that they do not require an analysis of intent or consent. It's straight up, if you do the crime you get the time. Soliciting a minor online is such a crime.
Some sexual behaviour the law does think a minor can consent to - sex above a certain age but below age of majority as long as the partner is within 4 years. There are lots of reasons the law views this as OK. But deciding a 16 y.o. is be able to consent to sex with a 20 y.o. is far different than sexual talk between a 16 yo and a 50 yo. Legally, we say that the 50 yo is really the one in that situation who has the burden to turn away the minor, no matter how manipulative, enticing or willing. Because as a community we say that the 50 yo is capable of knowing his duty and acting on it, whereas the minor is not old enough to make rational jusgments and act on them.

He also caused his own downfall from congress, with no one else to blame but himself.
He also had an insurmountable lead in the NYC mayor's race, until he alone caused his own downfall.
Yet still, a few die-hard democrats - on this site and elsewhere - toil to defend this predator.
Why is that?
Is it now "party over predators" ??

She is a f!cking scumbag and her parents are as execrable as Weiner. Wow. They lied to get more $ from a tabloid and her dad, a practicing attorney, negotiated for payment for the girl, for the family and Sydney Leathers - known before this came out.
Her parents' actions made no sense before (selling story), but it makes sense if that's true.
This info is directly from Louise Mensch. I'm not sure how accurate it is. If it were true why would he not fight and force the 16 year old to appear in court?
Weiner is a perve and he is the root cause of the Comey letter etc. He helped put 45 in the White House. Good riddance. May he fade from notoriety forever.

He definitely deserves prison, if it hadn't been this teenager (whether she initiated it or not), eventually it would have been something else. He is a sexual predator, their behavior escalates, as we clearly see with Weiner. He wasn't going to stop until serious rock bottom. Because losing his job in Congress, in a hugely humiliating way, wasn't enough. Running for mayor, filming a documentary and getting caught again, on camera, on film, that is then distributed, wasn't enough. Putting his marriage and parenthood in serious jeopardy, wasn't enough. It isn't a victimless crime, and he should thank his lucky stars that the girl never sent him any nude pictures, because then he would have a very serious child porn charge.
+1 all so very true

because the fact that she's 16 and closer to 17 not 15 is legally irrelevant. 16 is 16. She is a minor. WTF, I'm amazed at how so many people lack even the most basic understanding of the law.

To be honest, I think it's a fair question. They both pleaded guilty.
My guess it is that the secret service guy had multiple counts against him. It may also depend on the jurisdiction. The fact that he was in the secret service may have been a factor. Apparently, prosecutors were seeking life in prison, which seems a little extreme. Why bother pleading when you're going to have the book thrown at you either way? I feel weird for defending a guy who sent dick picks to underage girls.
