INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A special prosecutor says he believes the claims of the four women who accused Indiana's attorney general of groping them at a party, but that he doesn't have sufficient evidence to prosecute.
In his review of the investigation into allegations against Curtis Hill stemming from an end-of-session event at an Indianapolis bar in March, Daniel Sigler said he "took the complaining witnesses claims as true and credible."
In the report released Tuesday, Sigler says he found the accusers' motives sincere and that he believed Hill, a Republican, had "touched them in a way that was inappropriate."
He says Hill hasn't denied the touching occurred, but that the attorney general said it was incidental in a crowded bar and "not intended to be disrespectful, sexual in nature or rude."
