Speaker Hastert Abused 4 Boys: Prosecutors


Justice Department prosecutors said Friday that former House speaker Dennis Hastert abused four young boys when he was their wrestling coach, and urged that he be ordered to serve up to six months in prison when he's sentenced later this month.

While Hastert has pleaded guilty to a financial violation, prosecutors said, "the actions at the core of this case took place not on the defendant's national public stage but in his private one-on-one encounters in an empty locker room and a motel room with minors that violated the special trust between those young boys and their coach."

For the first time, government lawyers said Hastert made payments to a man who was sexually abused at age 14 by Hastert when he was the boy's wrestling coach.

Prosecutors said the abuse also involved "other minors," and included touching their genitals or engaging in oral sex.

Hastert pleaded guilty in October to structuring withdrawals of money from his account in order to evade bank reporting laws. The money was to compensate a person referred to in court documents as "Individual A," and that person is still unnamed in Friday's filing.

A sixth-month sentence is the maximum allowed under federal guidelines for the banking violation.

Prosecutors said Friday that Hastert's lawyers at first claimed he was the victim of an extortion plot by Individual A, "a former Yorkville High School student and wrestler" who they said falsely claimed that Hastert touched him inappropriately during a wrestling trip decades ago.

But FBI agents later interviewed the man, who told them he met Hastert through his family members. When Hastert was his wrestling coach, he said, they ended up in the same motel room at a wrestling camp. Hastert, he said, touched him in an inappropriate way.

Should be noted that all 3 GOP speakers (Gingrich, Livingston, Hastert) who went after Bill Clinton ,for having consensual Oral Sex with a 22- year old,,all were involved in real sexual Scandals.

If he is convicted as Clinton was he should suffer consequences as Clinton should have but unlike us conservatives who believe in something you democrats who have no character still love Clinton.

[cris axtell/coal hill ken]

What does this guys sick behavior have to do with him being a republican? I'm shure if we dug deep enough we could find a democrat guilty of the same thing or worse. Lots of sick people out there.

[Pine Mt Beagles]

Because Republicans,,,constantly tout their family values,and this guy was one of the -3- that investigated Bill Clinton. For oral sex affair with a 22- year old ,but the Main Reason IS IT IS CONSTANT REPUBLICAN BEHAVIOR.

ITS NOT UNCOMMON FOR REPUBLICANS.
