Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, a Republican, has not indicated whether he will see reelection. Hill was accused of groping four women, including one lawmaker, in March 2018 at AJ’s Lounge in Indianapolis. As a result, Hill has been accused of professional misconduct by the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission; the next hearing is set for Oct. 16.
Hill has denied any wrongdoing, and a special prosecutor opted not to file criminal charges. Hill took office in January 2017.
