Indiana's attorney general is facing allegations of sexual harassment and defamation in a federal lawsuit filed by four women who say he drunkenly groped them during a party last year.The women and their lawyers announced the lawsuit against Republican state Attorney General Curtis Hill during a Tuesday news conference. The women's lawyers said in October that they intended to sue Hill (https://www.apnews.com/6815d11c2aed4f7d84ca681296345564) after a special prosecutor declined to pursue criminal charges against him.
Hill is accused of touching the backs or buttocks of Democratic Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon of Munster and three legislative staffers in March 2018 at an Indianapolis bar. Hill has denied wrongdoing (https://apnews.com/8827a4674b1340fea9869645a0109eba) and rebuffed calls from Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb and other state officials to resign.


The lawsuit also accuses the state of Indiana of inadequately protecting Statehouse employees from sexual harassment and workplace retaliation.

Candelaria Reardon said the lawsuit seeks "institutional change."
"When an elected official betrays the trust, the public trust, in such an egregious way so as to commit sexual battery and assault and doesn't have the honor to resign, to maintain the dignity of the office, there have to be consequences for those actions and there have to be options to hold him accountable," she said.
Neither the attorney general's office nor a private attorney who has represented Hill immediately responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit. Hill's attorneys have said the special prosecutor's decision "exonerates and absolves Mr. Curtis Hill of any factual and legal criminal behavior."
Hill faces an October hearing on possible sanctions (https://www.apnews.com/1d50a3eb660c4bce964505255f0145c3) from the state Supreme Court on allegations that he committed professional misconduct at the party, which could lead to his disbarment as an attorney.
Hill, a Republican who was elected in 2016 to a term that runs through the end of 2020, called the women's allegations "vicious and false" during a news conference shortly after they became public last summer.

The Indiana statehouse is not responsible for protecting women from having backs touched in Indianapolis bars .
