In April of last year, Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House and admitted child rapist, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after he was caught paying his victims to keep quiet. However, he was just released on Tuesday — two months before finishing his already insultingly lenient sentence.
Hastert was sentenced, not for raping children, but for illegally structuring bank transactions in an effort to cover up his sexual abuse of young boys.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, Hastert, 75, is now under the supervision of a residential re-entry management field office based in Chicago, according to Bureau of Prisons online records. That means he is likely at a halfway house in the region monitored by that office, or he is on home confinement.
When asked why he was let out early, the Bureau of Prisons did not reply, according to the Times.
Hastert was an admitted serial child rapist, yet because he is a well-connected politician and former Speaker of the House, this vile man’s victims will receive no justice.
In spite of the fact that the judge called Hastert a “serial child molester,” when he was sentenced, Hastert was never convicted of his crimes against children — only lying to cover it up.
As the Times notes, the feds hit Hastert in May 2015 with a blockbuster indictment that accused him of illegally structuring bank withdrawals and lying to the FBI. He pleaded guilty to the structuring and acknowledged the lying in October 2015. Then, during his sentencing hearing in April 2016, he admitted to the judge that he sexually abused children in the 1970s while he was a wrestling coach at Yorkville High School.
When the victim, known only as ‘Individial A’, broke his silence, Hastert’s child rapes were exposed — resulting in the subsequent prosecution — for which he is now getting off early.
“To the extent any contract existed between plaintiff [Individual A] and defendant [Hastert], plaintiff breached that contract,” Hastert’s lawyers wrote.
“Plaintiff’s breach of conduct resulted in damages to defendant and plaintiff is accordingly required to return $1.7 million to defendant.”
Individual A did not go public with this information — he merely spoke to the FBI after the transactions were uncovered by investigators. The victim’s attorney, Kristi Browne told NBC that it was Hastert who was at fault.
“Mr. Hastert has decided that rather than live up to his promise to compensate his victim for his molestation and resulting injury, he will ask his victim to pay him,” she said in a statement.
The feds discovered other victims of Hastert’s abuse. Scott Cross, the brother of former state House GOP leader Tom Cross, revealed himself to be a Hastert victim during Hastert’s sentencing hearing. Hastert has also admitted he sexually abused late Yorkville High School wrestling team manager Stephen Reinboldt, the Times reported.
On top of these high-profile victim cases, another victim came forward just two months ago.
In that case, an Illinois resident known as “Richard Doe” says former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert is the teacher who raped him, and he can no longer stay silent.
Because the crime is sexual in nature, Richard’s true identity is being withheld. Richard says the crime happened when he was in elementary school. Because it occurred years ago, the criminal statute of limitations — like the other cases — has expired so he is seeking compensation in civil court.
According to the Chicago Tribune, he’s asking for, “$50,000 in damages from Hastert and Yorkville Community Unit School District 115 for charges including battery, negligent infliction of emotional distress and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
Hastert, who happens to have a long and friendly past with none other than the Podesta family, will now be a relatively free man after only serving 13 months in a low-security medical facility for admitting to the rape of multiple children. In the land of the free, this will be referred to as ‘justice.’

No, it's because his "victims" waited 40 years to accuse him and the statute of limitations had expired.

They didn't seem to want justice, they wanted the cash.
I've read Hastert is suing at least one "victim" for breach of contract. And I seem to recall he was suing Congress over his pension.

Million$, 40 years after the fact. And by "wanting" you mean "blackmailing".

Well,he DID say he was sorry,right?

Pretty disgusting.
Breach of contract?
His rape victims should have just shut the fuck up I guess.
And I seem to recall he was suing Congress over his pension.
Typical elitist prick politician.

I'd bet that you two pederast apologists would be singing a different tune had Hastert not been a Republican.

Well, at least he can't hurt them or us anymore.
The good news is that McStain's heading to Hell shortly; until then, he CAN do a lot of damage.

They agreed to shut up if he paid them. Then they wanted a lot more.
Classic blackmailers.
#13. To: Tooconservative (#12)
The victims should just have killed hastert after the sicko molested them. He should be prosecuted and execute.

What makes you think he's going to let a little thing like death keep the bribes from coming in?
My best guess is the US Senate is going to follow tradition,and appoint either his drunken,drugged-out wife,or his drugged-out attention whore idiot daughter to fill his seat until the next election,and then win the next election with full Party Support.
HEY! You don't really need to know or understand anything when you have lobbyists whispering instructions in your ear while handing you a bag of cash.
We won't even be able to tell he is gone.

She did have that drug scandal with her "charity" (which did at least do some legit charity work).
Other than that, she would be a big improvement over the Stain. I always felt sorry for her and never understood why she, a rich heiress, married a much older asshole like McStain. She could have done so much better than him.
It seems she may already have a job with Trump.
Newsmax, 6/17/17:
| Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will join President Donald Trump's administration as a Washington, D.C.-based ambassador-at-large, The Daily Beast reported. Her role will focus on anti-human trafficking efforts, humanitarian-aid matters and refugees. "[Trump personally], aggressively courted her for this," one White House official told The Daily Beast. "It's a done deal now . . . The president had floated several positions before—this is the one that stuck." Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, made a strong push for bringing McCain on board after learning of her years of work on global humanitarian issues. McCain serves as co-chair of the Arizona Governor's Council on human trafficking and on the McCain Institute's Human Trafficking Advisory Council and has worked to raise awareness about human trafficking and problems refugees face. Trump has discussed a role with McCain several times, including once during a dinner with the McCains at the White House in April. "When [President Trump] sat down and ate with [John] McCain, it was always really to meet with the other McCain," another senior Trump administration official told The Daily Beast. |

We'll hear fewer war cries now that the Senate's war lobby is down to just Lady Lindsey and Tom Cotton.

Fewer is better. No one can argue with that,and McLunatic was the "War Hero" (gag,puke) that "had the credentials to lead the pro-war movement". Or so the media and the RNC would have us believe,anyhow.

You didn't know that he was a "War Hero" and a real "Catch"?
