Serial sexter Anthony Weiner begged supporters to hang with him, telling them today “a rough time” in his marriage prompted him to keep sending sexually explicit words and pictures to women he’s never met.

In a letter released this afternoon, Weiner apologized but also seemed to shift blame for his pervy behavior to his marriage to former State Department aide Human Abedin.

“Sending these embarrassing messages to women online, whom I never met, was a personal failing that was hurtful to my wife and a part of my life that Huma and I have put behind us,” he wrote.

“These things I did, as you have read in the papers, didn’t happen once. It was a terrible mistake that I unfortunately returned to during a rough time in our marriage. After a lot of reflection, some professional help, and a general reorientation of my life, Huma has given me a second chance. I will never stop being grateful for that.”

The Web site thedirty.com reported yesterday that Weiner had sent a slew of pornographic self-images and lewd writings – under the handle Carlos Danger – to a 22-year-old Indiana woman last summer.

In a hastily called press conference yesterday afternoon, Weiner didn’t deny the allegations and vowed to press on with his campaign.

“Now, with 47 days left until the primary, some powerful voices are making it clear that they still don’t want me to run,” Weiner said in his letter. “Yesterday’s news has given them fresh fodder.”

Weiner gave up his Queens congressional seat in 2011 ago after admitting sexting women across the country.

In the build up to this mayoral run, the Carlos Danger candidate had implied his sexting days were done.

Now Weiner said he should have disclosed earlier that he kept sending pervy electronic messages, even after resigning his congressional seat in shame.

“Before and after announcing my run for Mayor, I repeatedly answered every question about these mistakes,” he said.

“I was clear that these relationships took place over an extended period of time with more than one person. I regret not saying explicitly when these exchanges happened. “

As the disgraced congressman left his Park Avenue pad this morning, he told reporters that voters familiar with his record won’t care that he continued to send lewd pictures of himself to women.

“People who know me are still going to vote for me,” Weiner said, just before jumping into a car and motoring away.

The candidate said he believes voters can evaluate his stance on the issues and ignore his pervy personal life.

“There have been people, since the moment I got into this race, who didn’t want me to run,” said Weiner, insisting that his campaign will press on.

“You know but a lot of people have been crying out for somebody to talk about issues important to the middle class.”
