View source for Hastert molested at least four boys, prosecutors say

Federal prosecutors on Friday for the first time provided details of sexual abuse allegations against J. Dennis Hastert [Republican Party], the former speaker of the House, asserting that he molested at least four boys, as young as 14, when he worked as a high school wrestling coach decades ago. Mr. Hastert, 74, is not charged with abuse because of statutes of limitation, prosecutors said, but he was accused last year of illegally structuring bank withdrawals to pay one of his victims in an effort to hide the abuse. He pleaded guilty in October to the banking violation, and suffered a stroke in November while awaiting sentencing, set for April 27.<br>
