Hastert is a pedophile. Why should he be on probation when a former Pennsylvania coach is in prison?

The Republican Party own judges, too?

The allegations (click here) came to light after Hastert was convicted last year of illegally structuring bank withdrawals to pay off one of his victims in an effort to hide the abuse.
In October, Hastert pleaded guilty to the banking violation, and while awaiting sentencing, suffered a stroke in November. His sentencing is scheduled for April 27.
In a court filing late Friday in conjunction with sentencing, the prosecutors described disturbing incidents that they say occurred when Hastert was a popular, championship-winning coach in a small Illinois town in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.
The “known acts,” the prosecutors said, consisted of “intentional touching of minors’ groin area and genitals or oral sex with a minor.”
“The actions at the core of this case took place not on the defendant’s national public stage but in his private one-on-one encounters in an empty locker room and a motel room with minors that violated the special trust between those young boys and their coach.”
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Hastert requested probation earlier this week and said he was “profoundly sorry” for his past conduct....

Sandusky and Penn State were dragged through the public meat grinder while Hastert asks for probation. I don't think so.

The late Coach Paterno suffered physical deterioration when the truth came out about Sandusky. The GOP has quite a list of sex offenders, including pedophiles.
