The Latest: Indiana AG's lawyers praise no charges decision

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill's private attorneys are praising the news that Hill won't face criminal charges for allegedly drunkenly groping four women.

Attorneys James Voyles and Jennifer Lukemeyer say in a statement that special prosecutor Daniel Sigler's investigation "exonerates and absolves Mr. Curtis Hill of any factual and legal criminal behavior."

Sigler said Tuesday he believes the allegations from a state lawmaker and three legislative staffers that Hill groped them at a March party in Indianapolis, but he concluded it would be too difficult to prove a case against Hill.

Hill's attorneys say he "will continue to serve the people of Indiana" in his elected post as attorney general.

Hill has denied the women's allegations and rejected calls from Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb and legislative leaders for him to resign.
