A second person accused former House Speaker Hastert of sexual abuse, official says

WASHINGTON — Indicted former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was paying a former student from Yorkville, Ill., to conceal his alleged sexual abuse of the young man while Hastert was a teacher at a high school there, federal law enforcement officials said Friday.

A top official, who would not be identified speaking about the federal charges in Chicago, said investigators also spoke with a second person who raised similar allegations that corroborated what the student said.

The second person was not being paid by Hastert, the official said.

Elected unanimously after Gingrich resigned, but refused the speakership after various extramarital affairs were revealed. He led the pack as well. Fucking hypocrite!

On edit: Forgot Tom DeLay and his hot tub parties.
