New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner is holding a press conference at 5 p.m. in Manhattan to address new revelations involving lewd photos and chats he sent to a 22-year-old woman.

Nightlife site "The Dirty" posted images and conversations that allegedly came from Weiner to a 22-year-old woman under the pseudonym "Carlos Danger."

The woman said that the online relationship occurred in 2012 — about a year after Weiner's initial fall and resignation from Congress.

Weiner addressed the revelations in a statement released through his campaign. But he did not address the timeline of the chats and photos.

“I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have," Weiner said in the statement.

"As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress. While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me. I've apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgiveness. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward.”
