INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Activists are planning a weekend march to call for Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill to resign amid allegations that he inappropriately touched a state lawmaker and three other women.
Organizers say in a Facebook post that Saturday’s march will begin at the Indiana Statehouse at 2pm.
Indiana’s Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb and the GOP leaders of the Statehouse called on Hill, also a Republican, to resign Thursday evening.
4 women had courage to report sexual harassment by the AG. Findings of a legislative report are disturbing & show a violation of our zero tolerance sexual harassment policy. I concur w/ Long and Bosma that AG Hill should resign & support an Inspector General investigation.

As lieutenant governor, I fully support @GovHolcomb‘s statement regarding Attorney General Curtis Hill. Sexual harassment should never be tolerated.

An internal legislative memo leaked to media outlets says that a lawmaker and three legislative staffers alleged that Hill drunkenly groped them in March during a party on the final night of Indiana’s legislative session.
Hill has said he has no plans to resign. He’s called an inquiry into the matter a “prejudicial investigation that is deeply troubling.”
