Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Wednesday was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $250,000 in a hush-money case that revealed he was being accused of sexually abusing young boys as a coach in Illinois.

Hastert was also sentenced to two years of supervised release.
For the first time, Hastert admitted to Judge Thomas M. Durkin in open court that he abused at least one boy.

"I'm deeply ashamed to be standing before you here today," Hastert said in court during his sentencing. "I know I'm here because I mistreated some of my athletes as a coach."

An earlier email alert on Hastert's sentencing was incomplete, including only the supervised release. Ref. CNN.

What this guy did when he was a teacher is just wrong. Thirteen months isn't enough time in jail… especially the cushy jail he probably went to. Send him back for another thirteen.
