美國官員今天表示,前聯邦眾議院議長哈斯特爾特已逝世,享壽84歲。他生前曾承認性侵自己教導的青少年,政治生涯以身敗名裂告終。

法新社報導,美國伊利諾州肯德爾郡驗屍官辦公室(The Kendall County Coroner's Office)指出,哈斯特爾特(Dennis Hastert)3日晚間在家中接受安寧療護期間離世。

請繼續往下閱讀...

哈斯特爾特曾在1999年至2007年擔任眾院議長8年,是歷來任期最長的共和黨籍議長,曾是華府最有權力的政治人物之一。這個職位使他在總統繼任順序中排名第二。

但他離開國會多年後,一項針對可疑銀行提款的聯邦調查發現,有款項意在掩蓋他擔任高中摔角教練期間的性侵行為,使其聲譽一落千丈。

哈斯特爾特於2015年認罪,承認刻意拆分現金提款,以逃避銀行申報規定,相關款項涉及他與一名受害者達成的350萬美元協議。

隔年宣判時,哈斯特爾特首度承認,他在1960年代至1980年代初於伊利諾州約克維爾高中(Yorkville High School)任教並擔任摔角教練期間,曾性侵男學生。

哈斯特爾特當時在法庭上表示:「他們對我抱有信任,而我利用了他們。」

檢方當時詳述至少5名男孩遭受性侵的情況,其中有人年僅14歲。

由於性犯罪的追訴時效已過,哈斯特爾特未能因相關性犯罪遭到起訴,最後因違反銀行法規,被判處15個月聯邦監禁。

Open Questions

  • 是否有其他受害者未被公開指控
  • 哈斯特爾特的財產是否用於補償受害者
