IL--Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert Released from Prison, Victims Respond
Statement by Joelle Casteix, SNAP Western Regional Leader, (949) 322-7434, jcasteix@gmail.com
We were shocked to learn that Dennis Hastert has been transferred from prison and quietly returned to Chicago.
Unfortunately, Hastert will never stand trial for the crime of sexual abuse. Illinois’ outdated and predator-friendly criminal statutes of limitations for child sex crimes ensure men and women who sexually abuse children get a "free pass" as long as they can use fear and shame to keep their victims silent.
