A lawmaker and three legislative staffers have accused Attorney General Curtis Hill of inappropriately touching them during a party on the final night of the legislative session, prompting an investigation by leaders of the Indiana General Assembly.
Hill denied the allegations in an emailed statement to IndyStar.
Details of the accusations are outlined in a confidential June 18 memorandum prepared by the Taft Stettinius & Hollister law firm at the request of legislative leaders.
The eight-page memo summarizes interviews that House and Senate leaders or their legal counsel conducted with six women who attended the end-of-session party at AJs Lounge, a bar just south of Downtown, during the early morning hours of March 15.

(61,599 posts)Franken did NOT apologize "for how he treated women."
Franken gave a gracious apology for the stunt photo he participated in when he was a comedian, on a tour doing skits to entertain the military, skits that were scripted to be vulgar.
Under continued assault from the right-wing lie machine (and handwringing liberals) Franken gave a still-more gracious and vague apology for anything he might have done in the distant past like touch a woman's waist while they were posing for a photograph.
What was done to Franken makes a conplete and total mockery of actual abuse. Everybody involved with it should be ashamed.
