Anthony Weiner has been lambasted as a ‘snake and a pervert’ who took advantage of a ‘mixed up kid,’ by the family of the 23-year-old at the heart of his latest sexting scandal.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the close family member said: ‘This guy has used and taken advantage of Syd.
‘He’s a grown man. She’s a young girl and kind of a mixed up kid. She’s bright and she’s pretty but she’s got sucked up in this whole ugly thing and this guy’s a snake and a pervert.’
Anthony Weiner admitted in an interview Wednesday that there might be other embarrassing photos of him out there that have yet to surface.
In the one-on-one with RNN-TV, Weiner didn’t deny that there was a possibility there could be other photos like the one that led the former congressman — who is now attempting a comeback — to be disgraced, and ultimately forced to resign in 2011.

The basics of the story are not gonna change,” Weiner told RNN-TV’s Dominic Carter.
