Disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility.

According to the Daily Mail, Weiner — estranged husband of Huma Abedin — is currently seeking treatment for “sex addiction,” his second time he has been admitted for such treatment.

Following his 2011 Twitter disaster, Weiner checked in to rehab to combat calls for his resignation. He would go on to resign one month after the scandal broke.

Weiner’s sexual deviancy is no longer wreaking havoc solely on his personal life, but in his wife’s professional life as well.

While pursuing an investigation into sexually charged text messages Weiner sent a 15-year-old girl, FBI agents stumbled upon a trove of 650,000 emails linked to Hillary Clinton’s private State Department email server, prompting the re-opening of the bureau’s probe into the Democratic presidential nominee.

The Daily Mail stated that the clinic Weiner is checked in to specializes in “counseling for those addicted to cybersex and exhibitionism as well as addictions to anonymous sex and porn.”

Electronic devices are reportedly banned from the facility.
