Gov. Eric Holcomb and several others are calling on Hill to resign:

4 women had courage to report sexual harassment by the AG. Findings of a legislative report are disturbing & show a violation of our zero tolerance sexual harassment policy. I concur w/ Long and Bosma that AG Hill should resign & support an Inspector General investigation.

As lieutenant governor, I fully support @GovHolcomb's statement regarding Attorney General Curtis Hill. Sexual harassment should never be tolerated.

Attorney General Curtis Hill @AGCurtisHill now has the opportunity to respectfully resign his position. Continuing to deny the allegations only shows his disrespect for the victims.

Patch reported Tuesday Hill said he will not resign.

The "March to Support Victims of Curtis Hill" rally will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 7 at the Indiana Statehouse. According to the event's Facebook page, it's about showing Hill's victims that supporters stand with them "as women, as Hoosiers, as those who believe that people should not have to worry about being sexual assaulted by those who hold the power."
