Former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert allegedly paid hush money to cover up sexual misconduct with a male student dating to his time as a coach and teacher in Yorkville, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

The source said federal investigators identified, then interviewed at least one other alleged victim in the case against Hastert. The second victim’s statements to investigators were critical to corroborating allegations of past sexual misconduct, the source said. There was no allegations of a financial relationship involving the second individual, the source said.

Hastert, 73, of Plano, was indicted Thursday on allegations he paid hush money to cover up misconduct against an unnamed individual referred to in court papers only as “Individual A.” The misconduct wasn’t specified in the indictment, only that it happened years ago and that the individual had known Hastert for most of the individual’s life.
