The
millions of American men who were molested when they were children hide
what happened to them for years. But every so often, something happens
to crack the silence.
That’s what we saw last week in Chicago at the sentencing of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who allegedly molested five teenagers connected to the wrestling team he coached decades ago. One of them, Scott Cross, now a 53-year-old married father of two, decided he wouldn’t be silent anymore about Hastert, who was convicted of violating federal banking laws in paying hush money to a now deceased former student. The statute of limitations on the abuse ran out decades ago
