New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has admitted sending explicit messages to a woman, two years after he left Congress over a similar affair.
An unnamed woman told website The Dirty she had an online relationship with the 48-year-old last year.
Mr Weiner, who has been leading polls of Democratic mayoral candidates, said he was “very sorry” about the messages.
In 2011, he said his Twitter account was hacked, but then admitted sending lewd photos to young women.
Flanked by his wife, Huma Abedin, in a press conference on Tuesday in New York, he apologised while reading from a prepared statement.
He also said he would not drop out of the New York City mayoral race, which will be decided by voters in November.
