Accuser Sought Guidance to Strengthen Attack on Attorney General Curtis Hill

Last updated on Thursday, July 12, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Attorney General Curtis Hill today issued the following statement in response to an accuser’s statement released earlier today:

"On July 11, 2018, the Office of the Attorney General received an email of a draft 'story' from the accuser's General Assembly email account. The statement was blind copied to the office email account of the accuser's close friend, whose employment with the OAG had recently been terminated.

"In her draft 'story,' she editorialized her recollection of events. And she asked for help, stating: 'This is the final draft for my statement attached. Please let me know if there are any grammatical errors or phrases that need to be changed/strengthened/eliminated.'

"It's clear that the integrity of this investigation is compromised. The various stories appear to be coordinated and changed under the direction of others. We believe these emails could be material to an investigation. We would hope that any emails sent on state equipment between the accuser and others be preserved and not deleted."

Here is the email received by the OAG.
