Anthony Weiner complained about sex offenders in district before scandal
Here’s another thing that gets a rise out of Anthony Weiner: other perverts.
Long before the former Queens congressman earned himself a rap sheet for trading X-rated messages with a 15-year-old girl, he was getting hot and bothered about sex offenders living in the congressional district he represented.
Weiner’s office repeatedly called the NYPD’s Sex Offender Monitoring Unit to gripe about pervs too close to his digs and other places, a source told The Post.
Weiner even once called the unit himself to grumble, according to the source.
“He called directly and complained about sex offenders — and now he’s one,” the source said. “He wanted to know why the police weren’t doing more. He said, ‘I have sex offenders living in my district who aren’t supposed to be living here.’ ”
Weiner, 54, registered last week as a Level 1 sex offender.
