The accuser at the center of the Dennis Hastert hush-money case filed a $1.8 million lawsuit against him on Monday, two days before the former House Speaker's sentencing.

The man known only as Individual A — who was just 14 years old when Hastert molested him on a wrestling team trip — is seeking to collect the balance of $3.5 million the politician secretly agreed to pay him.

The payments stopped after federal agents discovered unusual bank withdrawals by Hastert and began investigating.

Hastert molested four boys while he was a wrestling coach at Yorkville High School.

No, dark heart, comforting a child is not a crime, even if it is for 20 minutes, just to people who have no compassion.

a grown man cradling a teenager is not comforting, she who stomps on blacks, it is child molestation.

Well, you just go on ahead and think that is the case, but you apparently have never had the privilege of being close to a teenager. Maybe, one day you will be lucky enough to have one trust you enough that they will confide in you and trust you, but I doubt it with your attitude.

Of course, accusing someone of child molestation on a public forum is protected speech...isn't it?

Dennis Hastert will step before a federal judge today to learn his sentence in a hush-money case centered on accusations that the former U.S. House speaker sexually abused at least four students decades ago when he coached wrestling at an Illinois high school.

Hastert, who arrived early Wednesday morning, pleaded guilty last year to breaking banking law as he sought to pay $3.5 million to someone identified in court papers only as Individual A to conceal a dark secret from the Republican’s past. His plea deal suggested anything from probation to a maximum of six months behind bars.

But after prosecutors lifted a veil of secrecy from the case, the judge made comments suggesting he might impose a longer sentence, potentially putting Hastert behind bars for years, because of the abuse allegations.

Word that one of the accusers will speak at the sentencing hearing is sure to turn up the pressure on Judge Thomas M. Durkin to reject defense calls for probation and send the Illinois Republican to prison.

If that happens, Hastert, who was second in the line of succession to the presidency after the vice president and the nation’s longest-serving GOP speaker, would become one of the highest-ranking politicians in American history ever to be incarcerated.

Update:


A federal judge sentenced former House speaker J. Dennis Hastert to 15 months in federal prison — a term above what even prosecutors had recommended and one that clearly takes into account the sexual abuse allegations that generated the criminal case against the Illinois Republican.

The sentencing marked an ignominious moment in the life of a man who was once a revered high school teacher and wrestling coach in Illinois and who ascended into the highest ranks of American politics.

Even before the hearing, prosecutors had revealed in court filings how Hastert allegedly had molested or inappropriately touched five teenagers affiliated with the wrestling team he coached decades ago.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin had indicated that he would consider that in handing down an appropriate punishment.

Durkin pressed him further, asking him if he had sexually abused the students. Hastert was hesitant.

"He said: “I don’t remember doing that."
