CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Tribune is citing unidentified law enforcement sources as saying at least four people have made "credible allegations of sexual abuse" against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert.

In a Thursday story, the newspaper says it has determined the identities of three accusers — men whose allegations stem from when they were teenagers and Hastert was their coach in Yorkville, Illinois. One of them is dead. The Tribune says the other two — described in court documents as Individuals A and D — declined to speak publicly when approached by the newspaper.

Hastert is to be sentenced April 27 for violating banking laws as he sought to pay $3.5 million to ensure Individual A stayed quiet about past misconduct.

The Associated Press and other media outlets, citing unnamed sources, previously reported that Hastert wanted to hide claims he sexually molested someone. The issue was first raised in court last month.

13. This reminds me a lot of Jerry Sandusky.

Only Hastert apparently stopped, and Sandusky never did. And Sandusky never felt remorse.

14. We don't know if he stopped

What if he preyed on interns????
I'm expecting a sudden death -his. Pride will rule.

15. He is doing what Bill Cosby is doing ...

pretending to be too old and infirm to be prosecuted.

16. I admit I was totally fooled into thinking he was a boring gray old man.

Who would have thought that lurking behind that avuncular exterior was a serial sex predator and money launderer?
