Indiana Lt. Gov. Beckwith investigated over allegations of payroll fraud, deepfake porn [View all]

INDIANAPOLIS — A grand jury in Marion County is taking a closer look into allegations within Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith’s office.

A report filed by the Marion County Grand Jury confirms the grand jury heard testimony on Aug. 18 and Sept. 30 “in the original investigation into the distribution of an intimate image(s) and ghost employment in the office of the Indiana lieutenant governor.”

No additional details have yet to be provided on the specifics of the grand jury’s hearings, as the files are currently under seal. If charges are filed in relation to the grand jury investigation, these files would then be unsealed.

The grand jury’s report is the first mention of allegations of ghost employment within Beckwith’s office. Ghost employment is most often used as a term for payroll fraud. A public servant can also be charged with ghost employment as a Level 6 felony for assigning employees duties not related to their government position.
