Indiana Rep. Justin Moed is apologizing for sending sexual messages to porn star Sydney Leathers as well as sending her fetish gifts.
If Leathers’ name sounds familiar, she’s one of the women Anthony Weiner was caught sexting with in 2013.
Moed is currently engaged, with a wedding planned for this coming September.
"I am truly sorry I have hurt the ones I love most with my poor judgment. I am committed to rebuilding trust with my family and my community,” he told the Indianapolis Star. “This is a private matter and I ask for it to be treated as such. I apologize to my constituents and to everyone I have let down.”
When Leathers was asked by Fox 411 about whether or not she was sexting with Moed she replied, “Yes it’s true.”
The scandal was first revealed by TheDirty.com, the site Leathers provided text messages to, including Moed telling her he’s had sexual relations with another man.
Moed corresponded with Leathers using a Twitter handle called “Bitch boy” and she didn’t know who he was until his name was included on a “Fetish Fantasy Series Pink Leash & Collar” he sent her through Amazon.com.
Here’s Leathers talking about her relationship with Weiner on Howard Stern’s SiriumXM radio show:
