Anthony Weiner has gone offline after it was revealed that the disgraced politician had been sexting with a woman behind his wife's back - for a third time.

Hours after the New York Post published new images that the former Congressman sent to a mystery brunette while his wife Huma Abedin was hard at work on the campaign trail with presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, Weiner has deleted his Twitter account.

The most damning of the snaps shows Weiner laying in bed wearing nothing but his boxer briefs while his four-year-old son with Abedin, Jordan, sleeps next to him.

'Someone just climbed into my bed,' Weiner wrote to the woman before sending the photo, which clearly showed the outline of his manhood.

She responded by writing back: 'You do realize you can see you[r] Weiner in that pic??'

The photo was sent shortly after 3am on July 31, 2015 from Weiner, who reportedly grew concerned moments later thinking that he may have publicly posted the photo.

'Ooooooh . . . I was scared. For half a second I thought I posted something. Stop looking at my crotch,' Weiner reportedly wrote back.

Weiner publicly posted a shot of a similar nature showcasing his bulge in a pair of boxer briefs on Twitter back in 2011, which is how news of his first sexting scandal broke.

The stay-at-home-dad also sent the woman other images of himself topless and wearing boxers.

The racy exchanges took place in 2015. The woman has not been identified, but is believed to be a Donald Trump fan.

She is also believed to have used her Twitter account to push her support for the NRA and slam President Obama.

And just as shocking as the photo may be the fact that Weiner used the same pseudonym he did during his second sexting scandal - Carlos Danger.

Weiner and Abedin married in July 2010 in a ceremony that was officiated by Bill Clinton and covered in the pages of Vogue, with Abedin getting pregnant with the couple's first child just a few months later.

The couple was not even a year into their marriage when news broke that Weiner had been sexting women online after he tweeted out a photo of his erect penis that he had meant to privately send to a woman on the social media site.

He resigned from Congress soon after, and in December of that year Abedin gave birth to a Jordan.

In 2013, Weiner decided to run for mayor of New York City and also agreed to be filmed for a documentary about his return to politics.

He announced he would run in late May, but just two months later came allegations that he had continued to sext in the years after he resigned from Congress using the name Carlos Danger.

A 22-year-old named Sydney Leathers said she had been sharing messages and explicit photos with Weiner as recently as April of that year, giving interviews to multiple news outlets and even showing up at the event he hosted after losing in the mayoral primary that September.

Weiner has held various jobs since, and in 2015 appeared in the television movie Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!.

Abedin spoke about the couple's relationship in an interview on the Call Your Girlfriend podcast earlier this year, saying: 'You know, I think that a marriage really only works in any situation, whether you’re in politics or not, if one partner is fully supportive of the other.

'I think it’s a little – it’s often a little more challenging when you’re in politics because your private life, and I think everybody craves their own privacy, and so I think your private life is displayed to the world in a way that you otherwise wouldn’t have to deal with if one spouse is a private person and the other person’s in politics as was the case certainly in my marriage.

'But I think it works if you fully support each other.'

She then noted that her husband has taken over much of the parenting of their son as she is away from home.

'I’m on the road a lot on the campaign. As I mentioned earlier I have a four-year-old son and I don’t think I could do this if I didn’t have the support of a spouse who is willing to basically be a stay-at- home dad as much as he possibly can so I’m able to be on the road,' said Abedin.

'I miss my son but I don’t worry about him because I know between this little village we’ve created between Anthony and my in-laws and my mom and our families and this wonderful woman who we have helping us I can go out and be the best professional woman that I can be because I have that support.'

Earlier this month, Leathers claimed Weiner was still chatting with other women online behind his wife's back.

In a column for Washington Babylon on Thursday, Leathers, 26, said she has recently been in touch with one of Weiner's alleged cyber hook-ups, who contacted her looking for advice.

'I am certain his behavior continues to this day because a woman who claims to be one of his current sexting partners has reached out to me for advice,' wrote Leathers, in a movie review for the documentary Weiner.

Earlier this month, Weiner was allegedly caught out in a flirty exchange with a man who 'catfished' him.

He was lured into a conversation on Twitter with a user who falsely claimed they were a young woman named Nikki.

In the chat, which was obtained by the New York Post, Weiner refers to himself as a 'mongoose' and joked about stripping naked in his hotel room.

He fell into the trap during a visit to film HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher in Los Angeles.

After a series of innocent comments about California weather, surfing, and traffic, the conversation took on a more suggestive tone after the person told Weiner they find high heels uncomfortable.
