Anthony Weiner has officially returned to New York on supervised release, and will subsequently register as a sex offender. New reports confirm Weiner was transferred out of the Federal Medical Center in Devens, Massachusetts, to a Bureau of Prisons residential re-entry center in New York, three months shy of his 21-month sentence for sending sexual messages to a 15-year-old girl from North Carolina.

According to TMZ, Weiner will be officially released from federal custody on May 14. In addition to officially registering as a sex offender, he will spend three years on supervised release and pay a $10,000 fine. It is currently unclear whether Weiner has been relegated to a halfway house or will remain on one of his own properties. The former New York congressman—infamously nicknamed “Carlos Danger” in his correspondence with Sydney Leathers—began serving his sentence in November 2017, but shaved several months off a projected release date of August 2019 for good behavior.

Weiner, 54, has a storied history of sexual misconduct, including a sexting scandal that precipitated his resignation from Congress in 2011. His subsequent New York City mayoral bid was cut short over another revelation of an online extramarital relationship. In 2017, Weiner was arrested for knowingly sexting with an underage girl, and called himself “a very sick man” during sentencing.

Huma Abedin, Weiner’s then-wife, subsequently filed for divorce, but ultimately withdrew the case to settle out of court.
