(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill has been suspended 30 days regarding an alleged incident dating back to March of 2018.
The Indiana Supreme Court made the decision to suspend Hill for allegedly touching multiple women inappropriately at a party in Indianapolis. The suspension, beginning May 18, will prohibit Hill to practice law in the state of Indiana.
"We find, as did the hearing officer, that Respondent committed acts of misdemeanor battery, conduct that under the circumstances of this case violated Indiana Professional Conduct Rules 8.4(b) and 8.4(d), " stated the courts.
After the 30 day suspension, Hill will be automatically reinstated to his Attorney General role.

“I accept with humility and respect the Indiana Supreme Court’s ruling of a 30-day suspension of my license with automatic reinstatement.
“I have directed that beginning Monday, May 18, Chief Deputy Aaron Negangard will assume responsibility for the legal operations of this office during the temporary suspension of my license until it is reinstated on Wednesday, June 17.
“I offer my deepest gratitude to my family, friends, and the entire staff of the Office of the Attorney General. My staff has worked tirelessly and without interruption and will continue to do so on behalf of all Hoosiers.”
