Anthony D. Weiner’s improbable campaign for mayor of New York City is a wager that voters have made peace with his lewd online behavior, a subject he has largely left behind as he roils the race with his aggressive debating style and his attention-getting policy proposals. But for the women who were on the other end of Mr. Weiner’s sexually explicit conversations and photographs, his candidacy is an unwanted reminder of a scandal that has upended their lives in ways big and small, cutting short careers, disrupting educations and damaging reputations. Ms. Cordova, who has told The New York Times that she had chatted electronically with Mr. Weiner about politics and not about sex, was shocked by his unwanted advance. “A perfect comeback story, ya know?” 
 
 Asked about the fallout, Mr. Weiner said in a statement to the Times: “I am deeply sorry that my behavior caused so much upheaval in the lives of those who were unwittingly involved.”

The porn star Ginger Lee, who capitalized on the situation by staging a press conference with the lawyer Gloria Allred, “called on [Weiner] to stay out of the race to spare women like her further anguish,” the spiked Times story said. “Every new headline and news story about him reminds reporters and bloggers that we exist, and the cycle starts all over,” she said in a statement released by her lawyer. “There will be a new flare-up of jokes, inaccurate statements and hurtful remarks.” 
 
 Ms. Weiss, who said she was a voluntary participant in explicit online chats with Mr. Weiner, said it was his position as a prominent lawmaker that allowed him to steer conversations about politics and policy into racy exchanges about sex. The article, written by reporter Michael Barbaro, was titled “For Women in Weiner Scandal, Indignity Lingers.” It was quickly deleted before being replaced with a production note: 
 
 “An article was posted on this page inadvertently, before it was ready for publication,” read the note left on the story page. “I cannot tell you the devastation,” Lisa Weiss, a blackjack dealer who leaked her emails with Weiner to RadarOnline, is quoted as saying, calling herself “a little piece of collateral damage from the Weiner situation.” 
 
 “Fans of Mr. Weiner from the start, their feelings about him now are complex and unsettled: Some, like Ms. Weiss, are heartened by his campaign for mayor and rooting for him to win, despite their travails,” the story says.
– Anthony Weiner may be moving on from his 2011 sexting scandal—but for the five women on the other end of his raunchy messages and photos, it's not so easy, the New York Times reports. Lisa Weiss, 42, says customers at the casino where she works as a blackjack dealer don't make it easy to forget, saying things like, "Talk dirty to me," and, "We know what you want to do to him," while colleagues refuse to speak to her, and strangers send her disparaging remarks online. "Clearly she’s got mental issues," read a recent one. Gennette Cordova, who was 21 when she received a photo of Weiner's, er, weiner, moved across the country to get away from the scandal, but the press still tracked her down, showing up at her new workplace. And Ginger Lee says his new mayoral campaign is a constant reminder of what happened. "Every new headline and news story about him reminds reporters and bloggers that we exist, and the cycle starts all over," she says. "There will be a new flare-up of jokes, inaccurate statements and hurtful remarks." (Vaguely interesting side-note, Buzzfeed reported earlier today that this story was first published on June 10 then pulled offline. The Times then posted the story hours later, but says it wasn't influenced by the Buzzfeed piece.)
