“This topic, while difficult for me to discuss, is not one that can be swept under the rug,” said Scott Cross, now an Illinois businessman who said he was abused by Hastert when he was 17 years old. “Hastert inflicted unbelievable pain on the lives of the youth he was entrusted to care for, yet he got a slap on the wrist… As hard as is it to continue to live through the events of the past, the laws of Illinois and across the country have to change.”
