Forty years after abuse, Dennis Hastert due in prison Wednesday

Dennis Hastert admits he sexually abused teenage boys back in the 1970s. The man who rose from wrestling coach and hometown hero to speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and second in line to the presidency must now report to the Rochester Federal Medical Center in southeast Minnesota by 2 p.m. Wednesday.
That’s when Hastert, 74, is due to begin serving the 15-month prison sentence handed down in April by U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin, who called Hastert a “serial child molester.” Roughly 40 years later, he is finally due to report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
