Former U.S. congressman Anthony Weiner reported to prison Monday to begin a 21-month sentence for sexting with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner is being held at the Federal Medical Center Devens in Massachusetts, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said. Weiner was sentenced in September by a judge who said the crime resulted from a "very strong compulsion." At the time, a tearful Weiner said he was undergoing therapy and had been "a very sick man for a very long time."
