Hastert pleaded guilty last year to illegally structuring bank withdrawals in an alleged attempt to pay hush money. The reported recipient, a former student at Yorkville, was allegedly molested by Hastert decades ago, court filings say. The lazyboy was mentioned in a recent prosecution sentencing memo by another alleged victim, known in documents as “Individual D.”
In total, prosecutors say at least four male students were molested. The disgraced politician won’t face charges for the alleged sexual assaults, however. The statute of limitations ran out.
