Four women, including Democratic State Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon, have accused Hill of making unwanted sexual advances — including allegations he groped some of them — at a party after the end of the 2018 legislative session. Hill has strongly denied the women’s claims, openly questioning their motives. He has hired Voyles Vaiana Lukemeyer Baldwin & Webb to represent him in any potential criminal matter and Betz & Blevins to represent him in a possible defamation lawsuit.

To help pay his legal bills, Hill’s supporters have established a nonprofit in his name. Terre Haute attorney James Bopp and retired Indiana court of Appeals Judge Linda Chezem announced July 23 the creation of Fairness for Curtis Hill, a legal defense fund.

“A litany of inconsistencies and contradictions have plagued the accusations against Curtis Hill,” Chezem said. “But to expect a person to respond to moving targets of accusations of undefined bad behavior toward other unnamed persons is simply not fair … .”

The formation of a 501(c)(3) to collect contributions brought a fresh round of inquiry. Nonprofit law attorneys questioned the legality of starting a charity to raise money for one specific person and how the fund would be monitored in Indiana.
