Jailed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert says a man who accused him of sexual abuse should return $1.7 million in hush money because he broke his silence by talking to the feds.

The demand was made in Hastert's response to a lawsuit filed by the accuser, known only as Individual A, who is trying to recoup the rest of the money the politician promised him.

"To the extent any contract existed between plaintiff [Individual A] and defendant [Hastert], plaintiff breached that contract," Hastert's lawyers wrote.

"Plaintiff's breach of conduct resulted in damages to defendant and plaintiff is accordingly required to return $1.7 million to defendant."

Hastert, 75, is serving 15 months in federal prison for bank fraud. After his sexual abuse victim came forward decades ago, he paid the victim $1.7 million in hush money. He filed the countersuit Jan. 18, asking an Illinois judge to order the victim to repay the money in full. Federal investigators only discovered the case after they found he was illegally structuring bank withdrawals.

The victim, referred to as “Individual A”, was a 14-year-old student at Illinois’ Yorkville High School when the abuse occurred. Hastert was a teacher and wrestling coach at the school. Allegedly, the abuse occurred on a wrestling trip and Hastert was a close friend of the victim’s parents.

So should he get back the money he gave to a victim, or just shut up about it, and die anyways.

I don't suppose there's any legal precedent applicable to this situation. Can a non-disclosure agreement legally prohibit you from talking to law enforcement about a crime committed against you?

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris
