 A man who says he was sexually abused by former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has sued the Illinois Republican. The alleged victim says he received only $1.7 million of $3.5 million Hastert promised him to keep quiet, NPR's David Schaper reports. 
  
 Hastert is scheduled to be sentenced on Wednesday for crimes related to the hush money. He pleaded guilty to structuring cash withdrawals to get around requirements that the bank report big transactions to the federal government. 
  
 As we've reported, the alleged abuse took place decades ago, when Hastert was a high school wrestling coach; federal prosecutors have noted that the federal and state statutes of limitations "have long expired" on possible sexual misconduct charges. 
  
 In Monday's court document, the plaintiff's lawyer Kristi Browne gives a timeline of the abuse and the "oral contract" about the money (the full document is embedded below). 
  
 Browne tells NPR that Hastert was "a personal family friend of my client's family." 
  
 At 14, the plaintiff attended a wrestling camp where Hastert was a coach, the complaint says. He alleges he was molested by Hastert in a motel room during the camp. In 2008, the plaintiff learned about another alleged abuse, and he "met with Hastert to confront him about what he had done." 
  
 The complaint continues, referring to the plaintiff as "James Doe": 
  
 "During their discussion, Hastert acknowledged the life-long pain and suffering he caused Plaintiff. Plaintiff asked Hastert to compensate him for the pain, suffering, and harm caused by Hastert. Hastert agreed to compensate Doe for the trauma he suffered as a result of the admitted sexual molestation and abuse. When asked by Hastert for the amount he thought would compensate him for this harm, Doe suggested $3.5 million. Hastert agreed to pay him this sum. Hastert asked Doe to keep the agreement confidential. Doe agreed." 
  
 Hastert paid the plaintiff $1.7 million between 2010 and 2014, and stopped when his bank transactions came under investigation, according to the court document. The plaintiff is asking for the remaining $1.8 million, plus interest. 
  
 For the financial crimes, The Chicago Tribune has reported that Hastert's sentence could be "anywhere from probation up to five years in prison," although his plea agreement with prosecutors calls for a sentence of no more than six months behind bars. 
  
 The Tribune has also published dozens of letters given to the court on Hastert's behalf. Among the supporters were family members, employees and colleagues, including former Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, who called Hastert a man of "integrity" and "strong faith." 
  
 "We all have our flaws, but Dennis Hastert has very few," Delay wrote. 
  
 Former California Rep. John Doolittle said Hastert was "often referred to as, 'Coach' " and looked out for his fellow members of Congress. ||||| Breaking News Emails Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.

 The accuser at the center of the Dennis Hastert hush-money case sued the former House Speaker on Monday, saying he never finished paying $3.5 million in cash to settle a sexual abuse allegation. 
  
 The man known only as Individual A had only pocketed $1.7 million from the politician when the FBI began investigating red-flag cash withdrawals and learned of their secret deal. 
  
 Now, two days before Hastert is to be sentenced for illegal financial transactions, Individual A has filed suit in Illinois state court, seeking to collect the $1.8 million balance. 
  
 The five-page breach-of-contract complaint contains new details about the case that stretches back to the 1970s, when Hastert was a wrestling coach at Yorkville High School: 
  
 Individual A, then 14, was not yet a student at Yorkville when Hastert, a trusted family friend, invited him to a wrestling camp for high schoolers and then molested him in a motel room, the suit says. 
  
 In 2008, Individual A had a conversation with another person who said they had been abused by Hastert — and that prompted him to confront his former coach, the court papers say. His attorney would not comment on whether that person is one of four former students who prosecutors say have reported abuse, or a new accuser. 
  
 As a result of the motel room incident, Individual A claims he suffered panic attacks for years. They in turn caused unemployment, career changes, depression, hospitalization and long-sterm psychiatric treatment, the suit says.

 Hastert's attorneys had no comment on the lawsuit. In a statement earlier this month, they said Hastert "acknowledges that as a young man he committed transgressions for which he is profoundly sorry." 
  
 The Republican, who led the House from 1999 to 2007 before becoming a lobbyist, was never charged with a sexual crime because, prosecutors said, the statute of limitations had passed. 
  
 He pleaded guilty to illegally structuring bank withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements for transactions over $10,000. 
  
 Prosecutors have recommended six months in jail. Hastert, citing his remorse and health problems, is asking for probation. 
  
 Kristi Browne, the attorney representing Individual A in the lawsuit, said he will not be at the sentencing and wants to stay out of the spotlight. "My client is counting on the justice system to do the right thing here," she told NBC News. 
  
 She said Individual A — who uses the pseudonym James Doe in the suit — doesn't have an opinion about whether Hastert should go to jail and isn't necessarily happy that he's been publicly disgraced. 
  
 "I think he would have preferred to have it remain private," Browne said. 
  
 Prosecutors have said they expect two people to testify against Hastert at the sentencing: a woman who says her brother, who has since died of AIDS, was molested throughout high school, and a man known for now as Individual D, who says the coach performed a sexual act on him while giving him a rubdown. 
  
 In the case of Individual A, prosecutors say that after arranging for the teen to share a room with him, he had the boy take off his underwear and massaged his groin under the guise of treating an injury. Hastert, clad only his underwear, then had the teen give him a back rub. 
  
 Browne said that her client didn't associate the episode with his panic attacks and other psychological problems until 2008, noting that many abuse victims blame themselves. 
  
 “Having a conversation where another victim referred to it as having been abused sort of opened his eyes to what actually happened," she said. 
  
 The sordid allegations came to light not because any of Hastert's former students came forward but because a bank worker became concerned about withdrawals the retired lawmaker made between 2010 and 2014 — $9,000 at a time from four banks, a pattern known to regulators as "structuring." 
  
 When the FBI questioned Hastert about the money, he lied and said he just wanted to keep it in a safe place, prosecutors said. His lawyers later contacted agents and told them he was actually being extorted by an ex-student with a false claim of sexual abuse from decades ago. 
  
 With recorders running, the agents had Hastert speak with Individual A and claim he was having trouble coming up with the next payment. They said the other man's tone and remarks were not consistent with an extortion plot. 
  
 Indeed, the lawsuit says that when Individual A asked Hastert for $3.5 million in compensation for "pain, suffering and harm," he suggested bringing in two confidantes and attorneys to draft a "legal" agreement. 
  
 "But Hastert preferred to keep the negotiations strictly confidential promising to 'pay every last dollar' of their agreed monetary settlement," the suit alleges. 
  
 Browne said that she has sent Hastert's legal team documents demanding he pay up and has never gotten a response. |||||
Output:
A new legal problem has surfaced for Dennis Hastert ahead of his Wednesday sentencing on financial charges related to payment of hush money over alleged sexual abuse: He never finished the payments, and the accuser has filed a lawsuit. The plaintiff, who says he was 14 when Hastert molested him decades ago, wants the remaining $1.8 million of the $3.5 million he says the former House speaker promised him as compensation, the New York Times reports. According to the lawsuit, which refers to the accuser as "James Doe," Hastert agreed to compensate the man for "trauma he suffered as a result of the admitted sexual molestation and abuse." In the years after the molestation, Doe suffered "severe panic attacks which led to periods of unemployment, career changes, bouts of depression, hospitalization, and long-term psychiatric treatment," the suit states. The agreement was made after the former student confronted Hastert in 2008. After suspicious transactions attracted the attention of the FBI, Hastert claimed he was being extorted by a former student, but investigators recorded a conversation between him and the accuser and decided the agreement did not constitute blackmail. According to the lawsuit, the accuser even suggested bringing in lawyers to draft a formal agreement for compensation, but Hastert "preferred to keep the negotiations strictly confidential," NBC News reports. Other accusations of abuse during Hastert's days as a high school wrestling coach in Illinois will be aired at the sentencing hearing, though the statutes of limitations for sexual misconduct charges expired long ago, NPR notes. Prosecutors have recommended a prison sentence of up to six months.
