For months, federal authorities have hinted at the motive behind the hush-money payments former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has admitted to making: the sexual abuse of a teenage boy when Hastert was still a suburban high school teacher and wrestling coach.
But now, a Tribune investigation has uncovered new details of the case — at least four people have made what law enforcement sources say are credible allegations of sexual abuse against Hastert.
The Tribune has determined the identities of three of them, all men, whose allegations stretch over a decade when they were teenagers and Hastert was their coach. One is dead. The Tribune has approached the other two — described in federal court records as Individuals A and D — and confirmed their roles in the case

Get a rope!
How did you think he got to be speaker so fast after Livingston was outed? Hastert was too old/fat to be suspected of the same.
GOPe!
Betcha Denny regrets not switching to the Democrat Party after leaving office...
These guys need to have flaws so they can be controlled.
Good grief.
He should get the "Dahmer" Treatment.
And yet Barney Frank, who operated a sodomite brothel from his basement, is lionized.
Yes. He was the obvious “jewel” of a replacement for the disgraced dropped-pants Gingrich who had to resign because of his dalliance with the Stepford Callista.
Tip of the iceberg in Congress.
Bingo.
Its not for nothing that J. Edgar Hoover was FBI director all those years.
“And yet Barney Frank, who operated a sodomite brothel from his basement, is lionized.”
You do see the difference between what Frank did and what Hastert is alleged to have done, right?
I was onto Hastert as soon as he defended William Jefferson D-LA.
Hastert knew eventually they would come for him.
The Democrats wanted him as Speaker because he could be easily controlled. After he retired, they had no more use for him. It’s funny how his payments were discovered. The democrats are just trying to tie up some loose ends.
Hasert was a turncoat. I hope he gets raped in prison.
Put him in prion with Ben D Over as his cell Mate. hehehehehehe
This fella was sent into a life of anger, mistrust, relational issues, drug/alcohol abuse, serial marriages/divorce, depression....awful.
An emotional prison. Really great guy. He is just now in his mid 50’s beginning to heal.
Seeing this first hand, Hastert should go to prison for at least ten years for each of the four young people he molested. That would essentially have him die in prison.
