Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has abused four boys during his time as a coach at an Illinois high school. At the high school Hastert served as the wrestling coach where he sexually abused four boys and apparently a fifth one, but the fifth boy died a couple of years later after the incident. Executors for another case were searching for evidence on Hastert, when they found out he paid off an ex-student to keep quiet about the situation. Dennis Hastert will not face any sexual charges because apparently the statutes of limitations have expired. Although he will not be facing any charges he has publicly apologized.
This article is significant to our society because it shows how current or former government officials can get away with their actions easily. This can be connected to the Lewinsky Scandal that involved Clinton who allegedly sexually assaulted a White House employee.
