Crazy #Repost @babylon_step_back ・・・ Federal prosecutors for the first time Friday disclosed allegations of sexual misconduct against former #HouseSpeaker #DennisHastert, saying the accusations should be considered when he is sentenced later this month in a criminal case connected to alleged hush-money payments. According to a court filing by prosecutors, the sexual abuse took place decades ago when Hastert was a wrestling coach and teacher at #YorkvilleHighSchool before being elected to Congress. Prosecutors detailed sexual encounters with teenage boys, which included inappropriate touching and having oral sex, for which the statute of limitation has expired. The actions at the core of this case took place not on the defendant’s national public stage, but in his private one-on-one encounters in an empty locker room and a motel room with minors that violated the special trust between those young boys and their coach,” prosecutors wrote. A message left with Hastert’s lawyer wasn’t immediately returned Friday. Hastert pleaded guilty in October to a criminal charge of structuring currency transactions to evade reporting requirements. He is accused of evading the requirements as part of a scheme to pay a man a total of $3.5 million [😲] to remain silent about alleged misconduct during Hastert’s time at Yorkville High School. Under a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, the former speaker faces up to six months in prison. Prosecutors hadn’t detailed the misconduct until Friday’s court filing. They said the man whom #Hastert had paid was allegedly touched inappropriately by the former coach. The man, who was 14 years old at the time, gave Hastert a massage and slept in the same bed with him during a team trip to a wrestling camp. Prosecutors described encounters with three other teenagers on the wrestling team and allegations made by a woman whose now deceased brother told her Hastert abused him when he was in high school, according to the court filing. #Babylon_Step_BACK_News #Babylon_Step_BACK Politicians, f-ing everybody...
