Attorney general disciplinary hearing begins Monday

INDIANAPOLIS- Attorney General Curtis Hill Jr., facing Indiana Supreme Court disciplinary commission charges for allegedly groping women, is trying to block the testimony of two women who worked for him when he was Elkhart County prosecutor.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Myra Selby, who will preside over Hill’s hearing starting Monday, has not yet ruled on whether the witnesses will be allowed to testify.

On Wednesday, Selby met with the attorneys for both Hill and the disciplinary commission to iron out details in advance of the hearing. Hill, a Republican in his first term as attorney general, will be fighting for his political and professional life in the hearing looking into misconduct charges stemming from an end-of-session legislative party in early 2018.

At that party, held at an Indianapolis bar, Hill allegedly touched the backs or buttocks of State Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-Munster, and three legislative staffers, Niki DaSilva, Samantha Lozano and Gabrielle McLemore.
