Another Lawsuit Filed Against A G Hill On Sexual Misconduct Charges

INDIANAPOLIS—Four women who accused Attorney General Curtis Hill of grabbing and groping them at a party in 2018 have sued him again, this time in Marion Superior Court after a similar case had been dismissed in federal court.

The women—legislative staffers Niki DaSilva, Samantha Lozano, and Gabrielle McLemore, and Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-East Chicago—accused Hill of battery when he touched them inappropriately at the party celebrating the end of the legislative session.

Their lawsuit also says he defamed them by accusing them of fabricating the incidents. The state lawsuit is filed against Hill personally and, unlike the federal lawsuit, leaves out claims against the state.

The 19-page lawsuit that was filed on July 7 recounts the same details as the women’s testimony last fall at Hill’s hearing before the state Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and in the federal lawsuit, which was dismissed on a technicality.

The incident at the party started when Hill told the women that in order to get a drink they should “show a little skin.” He then went on to inappropriately grab DaSilva, Reardon, and McLemore while calling Lozano, “really hot.”

The women say Hill, in denying the accusations, defamed them. In a July 2018 statement on his website he wrote, “The allegations against me, which continue to change, are vicious and false. At no time did I ever grab or touch anyone inappropriately.”

However, former state Supreme Court Justice Myra Selby, the hearing officer for the disciplinary commission, found the women’s stories credible. She recommended a 60-day suspension of his license to practice law, but the state’s higher court only imposed a 30-day suspension, which Hill has already served.

Hill lost his bid for a second term as attorney general to former U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita at the Republican state convention, which was held in a virtual format in June. The Democrat on the Nov. 3 ballot is former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel.

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” July 30, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

New Harmony Gallery Receives Indiana Arts Commission Grant

0

New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) was awarded a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) to help fund exhibitions for the 2021 Fiscal year.

The Commission approved grant allocations totaling more than $2.8 million in state and federal funds for grants and programs provided by arts organizations and cultural providers that prioritize community engagement throughout the state. The gallery was one of 382 community-based arts providers throughout Indiana to receive grants for Fiscal Year 2021.

Arts Organization Support provides annual operating funding for the ongoing artistic and administrative expenses of nonprofit arts organizations. Arts Project Support provides funding for one-time events like festivals, exhibits or workshops. Together, these programs represent a broad range of arts disciplines and geographic reach. In FY 2019, recipients of AOS and APS grants together served all 92 counties in Indiana.

“This funding is crucial to sustaining the operations of arts organizations, which is a significant source of economic prosperity in Indiana,” said Lewis Ricci, IAC Executive Director. “We know that these organizations have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, and this funding will help them weather the storm as they continue to adapt to this new normal and create safe, meaningful experiences for Hoosiers.”

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art provides a not-for-profit (non-commercial) exhibition space for current Midwestern artists and promotes discourse about and access to contemporary art in the southern Indiana region. Since its inception in 1975, New Harmony Gallery has provided an exhibition space for young and mid-career artists to show their work in a professional setting; and further, to provide a venue for contemporary art to the general public. The cornerstone of the Gallery’s mission is education and access through a carefully planned series of seven exhibitions per year. The exhibition series, which explores contemporary art concepts, is intended to provide increased opportunity for artists and the public to engage in discourse on and about the arts and culture.

“We are thrilled to receive this grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and appreciate their support. The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is an integral part of the community and region and this funding will allow us to host a series of rotating exhibits throughout the year highlighting different forms of art while creating opportunities for the public to engage in conversations about art and culture,” said Leslie Townsend, Director, Community Engagement and Historic New Harmony.

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is an outreach partner of the University of Southern Indiana. The gallery is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 812-682-3156 or go to USI.edu/nhgallery.
