Hastert Answers Molestation Accusations: 'I Mistreated Some of My Athletes' | PJ Media

Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) was sentenced to 15 months in prison today for a hush-money case tied to his molestation of boys as a wrestling coach years before his congressional career.

Hastert, 74, also faces two years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. He got nabbed for evading banking rules while paying off an alleged victim; however, due to the statute of limitations he can't be charged for sexual offenses.

Hastert struck a plea deal with prosecutors last year, but it was revealed in sentencing documents this month that federal officials believe he molested at least four boys, the youngest 14 years old, during his years as a high school teacher between 1965 and 1981. The filing said Hastert's acts included "intentional touching" of the students' genitals and oral sex with a minor, in locations including an empty locker room and motel room.

Judge Thomas M. Durkin lashed out at Hastert as a "serial child molester" during today's sentencing hearing, and openly regretted he couldn't give the former congressman more time behind bars.
