On supervised release, Hastert faces new restrictions on porn, contact with minors
I agree with most of this decision, but isn't restricting a person from looking at porn considered cruel and inhumane treatment?![dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/styles/smilies/dunno.gif)
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered tightened restrictions on former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, including barring him from possessing pornography, using sex chat lines or having any contact with minors except in the presence of an adult who is aware of his sexual abuse of boys decades ago.
The order from U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin came a day after the probation department submitted a report in court under seal.
Although the reasons for the tightened restrictions were not spelled out, Hastert has been undergoing a court-ordered sex offender evaluation — including any "psychological and physiological" testing deemed necessary — to expose any undisclosed wrongdoing and gauge whether he's a danger to society.
