Inspector general says Hill's actions 'creepy'

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Inspector General Lori Torres has released a 25-page report on Attorney General Curtis Hill and his staff that finds they didn't break any state ethics rules or misuse state property.

However, Torres says eyewitnesses told investigators that Hill's behavior at a party where he's accused of drunkenly groping four women was inappropriate, "creepy" and made many of the women at the party uncomfortable. Torres says the four women indicated Hill's actions caused emotional distress and anger and at least one left the party in tears.

Torres says all but one of the women who alleged Hill inappropriately touched them were in their 20s and new in their careers, and "that demonstrates the disparate power, influence, authority, and age that exists between Hill and the women."

Torres' report came out after a special prosecutor announced Hill won't face criminal charges.
