Anthony Weiner has allegedly checked into a rehabilitation clinic for sex addiction, the Daily Mail Online reported on Wednesday. Weiner, whose numerous sexting scandals have effectively ended his political career, became the subject of new scrutiny last week, after emails from Hillary Clinton's private server were found on Weiner's computer during an FBI investigation into Weiner's alleged communications with a 15-year-old. In September, Weiner was accused of sending sexually explicit messages to the underage girl. Weiner and his wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin separated in August, following revelations that Weiner had sent explicit photos to another woman while his son was in view. The rehab facility where he will reportedly receive treatment specializes in sex addiction, separates patients by gender, and does not allow cell phones.
