Former House Speaker Faces Prison Over Sex Abuse Cover Up
Former Republican and Speaker of the House of Representatives could be jailed for six months for trying to cover up a $3.5 million payoff to one of five boys he allegedly molested when he was a high school teacher in Illinois. Dennis Hastert sexually abused at least four boys when he coached wrestling at Yorkville High School in a Chicago suburb from 1965 to 1981, federal prosecutors said.
