Are Cong. Weiner's so called scandalous actions a crime?

The recent clamor from his fellow politicians for his resignation seems a little too harsh. HE HAS HARMED NOBODY yet they embarrassed him publicly for some things supposed to be private. What he did is done privately in his own home which gives him the right to do what he pleases or what he does to himself. The computer has changed the world so much and the facility to communicate has created much to man;s pleasure. Each and every individual may use it for varied purposes at any time in private. WHY THEN IS HE BEING made to resign when what he did is common to all men {in private , that is}. Are we a Democracy or not ?
