Former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill will no longer face trial in the civil battery case as the plaintiffs have decided to dismiss the charges against him. Hill was accused of groping four female plaintiffs at a party in 2018, leading to a heated legal battle. The plaintiffs issued a statement explaining that they decided to dismiss the case to protect themselves from further hardship and trauma that the trial would create. Despite multiple investigations acknowledging Hill’s misconduct, the plaintiffs were unable to secure a meaningful sanction against him. Each of the plaintiffs left their positions in Indiana politics due to the damage caused by Hill’s actions. While Hill maintains his innocence, the plaintiffs hope to move on and focus on their future endeavors. The decision to dismiss the case comes after years of legal battles and the plaintiffs’ willingness to settle if Hill accepted responsibility, which he refused to do. After the dismissal, Hill expressed relief and emphasized that there was no financial settlement involved. The press release concludes that this decision marks the end of a long and arduous chapter for both parties.
