Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner was ordered Friday to register as a sex offender as he nears the end of a 21-month prison sentence for having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl.
A New York City judge designated Weiner a Level 1 offender under the state's version of what's known as Megan's Law, meaning that he is thought to have a low risk of reoffending.
Weiner, 54, must register for a minimum of 20 years.
Because of his low-level designation, Weiner's information won't show up in the state's online sex offender registry but will be available via a toll-free telephone number.
Weiner didn't attend Friday's court hearing.
At his sentencing, Weiner said he'd been a "Very sick man for a very long time" and said he had a sex addiction.
Weiner resigned from Congress, only to try for a political comeback with a run for New York City mayor in 2013.
