This sounds like something a Republican would do.

Anthony Weiner woke up in a cold sweat. He had no idea why.

Let ye who has not sent a masturbation video to a city attorney cast the first stone.

Oh so a man can't jerk it at work now? What if he was on a break? Accidents happen.

Texting a video, oh my, that must have been exhausting per se but with the touchscreen smartphone keyboard it seems even more epic, to write so many 0s and 1s.... kudos also for the receiver that translated the binary into a reproducible format...

Without reading the article, I think I have a better than 50/50 chance at guessing the mayor’s political party.

technically a 'non partisan' office, but my guess is the same as youRs.

I knew it was a guy just from the title alone, it's always a guy who does these things

Personally, I've only sent videos that I've intended. Typos, sure that's understandable as autocorrect can be a true bastard at the worst moments; after reading the article, something about the situation makes me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video. It's hard to accidentally send lewd content to another person if you are being diligent about checking if you've selected the right recipient (always verify the receiver before sending lewd content). Good for the City Attorney for calling this man out on this alleged mistake.

But then it goes into the other problem. They just had a conversation about a cop killing himself, then he immediately though to send her that.
