CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Admitted pedophile and former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has reached a settlement with a victim of his who sued him over hush money.
A victim of the 79-year old child molester and former politician had sued Hastert for the rest of the nearly $2 million the victim had allegedly been promised by him to keep quiet about the abuse the victim had suffered years ago.
The trial was supposed to start Monday but Wednesday a Kendall County judge announced the trial would not take place because the two sides had reached a settlement.
It’s unclear whether that means the victim will get any of the money he said was owed him by Hastert.
Hastert had admitted years ago he sexually molested teenage boys when he was a high school wrestling coach.
