Indianapolis: So, here’s the scoop. The civil trial for Curtis Hill, the former Indiana Attorney General, was set to kick off but got called off at the last minute. It was supposed to start on a Monday, but on Sunday, news broke that both Hill and the women involved agreed to dismiss the case.
Now, the court didn’t say why they decided to drop it. There’s no word on whether they reached some kind of settlement or not. Just a few days before, the judge had turned down a request to delay the trial, so it’s a bit surprising.
Back in 2020, a group of women had sued Hill for battery and defamation after a federal lawsuit didn’t go their way. Hill has always denied the groping claims, but the Indiana Supreme Court did find that he broke some professional rules and even committed criminal battery, which led to a month-long suspension of his law license.
These allegations date back to a gathering in 2018, where four women claimed Hill groped them at a bar in Indianapolis. It’s a wild story, and now with the trial off the table, it leaves a lot of folks wondering what’s next for everyone involved.
