Sugar-Daddies and dates for dollars: The latest revelations in Weiner's sexting scandal

Thousands of dollars for sexual favours - one of Ms Leathers's many boasts to her friend Lou Colagiovanni

The new revelations heap further embarrassment on the shamed mayoral candidate and will fuel further doubt over the judgement of a man bidding to be responsible for the lives of millions of New Yorkers.

'I'm going to keep doing what I've always done,' an unapologetic Anthony Weiner to MailOnline last night



Weiner has steadfastly refused to quit the race, even if those around him have had enough. On Sunday his campaign manager Danny Kemed resigned.

Last night the damage this latest scandal is having on his campaign became clear as a new poll put him at fourth in the race - this time last week he was in the lead.

The survey also found that 53 per cent of likely Democratic voters wanted him to do the decent thing and drop out.

But in a remarkable statement to MailOnline Weiner showed no sign of listening insisting that the calls for him to step down come from political opponents and 'a lot of people who don't have a vote.'

He claimed: 'My opponents have some pretty big megaphones on their side,' And asked for donations 'of $10, $20, anything' to help him 'fight back.'



But today's revelations are yet another swingeing blow. They come from a string of online conversations between Miss Leathers and her friend and confidante, Lou Colagiovanni, 29 bring The two met in 2010 when Miss Leathers began working on his political website, ‘We Survived Bush You’ll Survive Obama.’



The exchanges span a period of four months starting April 12, 2013 – two days after Weiner appeared alongside wife Huma Abedin and their child in a New York Times article – and ending late July.

Faking it: Miss Leathers was far from complimentary about the men who paid for her services but boasted that she could fake it

In one dated June 6 Miss Leathers stated: ‘I’m seeing this one sugar daddy right now who pays me $1000 to go down on me for half an hour.’

She added: ‘He isn’t very good at it but I can fake it. Haha.’

Mr Colagiovanni asked: ‘Does he possess any skill or is it a dull 30 minutes? Ahh Well for $1000 a few moans and shouts should be included.’

Miss Leathers responded: ‘I don’t have to do anything except pretend I like it though so it’s not a bad gig lol.’

In later communications Miss Leathers admitted to having been on a sugar daddy websites ‘on and off’ for year and claimed, ‘I get money from dudes I’ve never even met.’

She said: ‘People are super-pathetic. It’s funny. I have guys on the sugar daddy site message me over and over and over even though I don’t respond.

'One guy offered to marry me in the first message. Um dude, you have no f***ing clue who I am, you saw like 10 photos if that.’

Mr Weiner knew little more about Miss Leathers than these men having ‘met’ her only online when he ‘poked’ her in response to a comment she made about his last sexting scandal.

Yet the man currently asking the people of New York to trust him with their city, their livelihoods and their futures sent intimate pictures, engaged in phone sex, declared love and offered to set her up in an apartment in Chicago.

Political chat on Facebook quickly gave way to sex talk on more private channels, phone sex and sharing those now infamous intimate pictures as the online affair hotted up.



In Miss Leathers’s experience she said: ‘Older men tend to be more generous. Married ones too.’

In her conversations with Mr Colagiovanni, Miss Leathers admitted to sending the disgraced former congressman intimate images of herself.

She expressed concern that he may have kept them on his computer though he asked her to 'hard delete' all their communications.

Easiest 'job' in the world: Miss Leathers claimed she could simply pretend she was with her then boyfriend, Jason

In an exchange dated July 10 this year, only a couple of weeks before the Weiner scandal broke Miss Leathers revealed to Mr Colagiovanni that she had: ‘A date for $$ tomorrow.’

At the time she admitted to being in a long distance relationship with another man but added: ‘Aside from wanting the money I *NEED* to relieve some sexual frustration tomorrow.’

Out for revenge: Miss Leathers admitted to feeling 'evil' and vowed to 'ruin' Weiner's campaign and life

Mr Coligiovanni joked that it was ‘nice when you can enjoy your work.’

Miss Leathers responded: ‘Easiest “job” ever lol.’

As well as speaking openly about offer sex for payment Miss Leathers frequently refered to taking drugs.

MailOnline revealed that Weiner’s sexting partner has a criminal record having been convicted of marijuana possession in 2008.



' He hasn't changed, everything with me happened post scandal,' Miss Leathers's view of Anthony Weiner

Her conversations with Mr Colagiovanni reveal her to be an habitual user. In one she boasted: ‘I always have good pot here.’

In another posted at 1.36am she said: ‘ (ps sorry if I’m boring right now, bought a new bong today, super high and so tired) lol.’

She also admitted at one point that some details were 'hard to remember' due to her drug taking.



Betrayal after betrayal: Weiner pictured with wife Huma Abedin on their wedding day, July 10 2010. It has taken a lot of work and therapy, she admits, but Huma continues to stand by her man

We've been here before: Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, takes the microphone to declare her love for her husband at a press conference last week - one year after exactly the same scandalous behaviour forced him to withdraw from congress

As well as Miss Leathers’s sex life and drug taking the pair discussed her relationship with Weiner at length.

The series of messages across three months tracks a shift in Miss Leathers's attitude. At first she appeared fearful at the prospect of the story getting out. Ultimately she was determined to ‘f***k up’ Weiner and expressed of disgust at the man she once idolized.

Making men pay: Weiner is not the first man to pay dearly for a 'relationship' with Miss Leathers

In one she admitted: ‘Maybe I’m naïve but I think in whatever f***d up way he had some feelings for me because he REALLY put himself out there post-scandal lol.’

WHAT SCANDAL? 78% OF WOMEN STILL BACKING ANTHONY WEINER

Despite the sexting scandal, it would appear that Anthony Weiner is still popular with women .

A survey by a Sugar Daddy dating website found that 78 per cent of women aged 18 to 26 approved of the New York mayor candidate.

The seekingarrangement.com website quizzed more than 18,000 women who use its dating services on July 22 and found, among its clients, the scandal had done little to damage Mr Weiner's reputation. Overall, 63 per cent approved Mr Weiner, with the highest rating coming from the 18 to 26 age group, according to US News & World Report . For women aged 27 to 34, he had a a 35 per cent approval rating and the website found that with women aged 35 or older 21 per cent approved of Mr Weiner. The survey also found the quality the women admired most in Mr Weiner were his power, and then his job. Other qualities they admired were his intelligence, money and looks.

The survey was carried out the day before Mr Weiner admitted being involved in a second sexting scandal.



The scandal which broke last week is all the more damaging for the lie that it shows Weiner's vows to have changed after being caught out in exactly the same behavior in July 2011.

Then, he was forced to stand down from congress as his wife Huma Abedin stood by the man she had married in 2010 and to whom she bore a son in 2011.

But her decision to do so once more has drawn as much opprobrium as it has respect.

Last week she stood alongside Weiner at a press conference and professed her love and forgiveness for her husband.

Miss Leathers offered a 'heartfelt apology' to Ms Abedin in an interview with Inside Edition but critics have accused Weiner's wronged wife of staying in her marriage for cynical and political reasons.

Miss Leathers spoke little about Weiner's wife in her conversations with Mr Colagiovanni but pointed out that a 'happily married man doesn't engage in the sorts of activities that Weiner did with her.

On 12 April 2013 a conversation Miss Leathers claimed that somebody had found out about her online relationship with Weiner and was threatening to blackmail her.

It was a danger to which Weiner a man running for high political office surely opened himself with his reckless online communications .

‘So Anthony Weiner and I talked all day and every day for months,’ she wrote.

‘And someone found out somehow and tried to blackmail me with it. I’m like…terrified this will come out since he’s running for mayor.’

Fallen idol: Weiner's sex dreams and obsessions saw Miss Leather's admiration give way to disdain

Miss Leathers quickly overcame this terror of exposure to enthusiastically embrace the prospect of earning ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ by selling her story.

‘Yep’ she wrote in one message to Mr Colagiovanni. ‘I shall ruin his campaign one way or another. Muahahaha.’

But Weiner is a hard man to shame.

In his message to MailOnline last night he re-iterated: 'I knew that revelations about my past private life might come back to embarrass me. I never hid from that possibiliy.



But, I waged this campaign on a bet that the citizens of my city would be more interested in a vision for improving their lives rather than in old stories about mine.'

He insisted that he intended to carry on with his campaign. He said he would 'soon publish yet another book of ideas for New York.'
