Creepy Curtis.

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill's behavior in an Indianapolis bar this spring was so abhorrent, according to the state inspector general, that at least four women suffered "emotional distress, family distress and anger."

So obvious that "multiple eyewitnesses provided statements that Hill’s conduct was inappropriate, 'creepy,' unwelcome and made many of the women at the party uncomfortable. Men and women from both parties, the political left and political right, provided accounts of what transpired that night."

So boorish that "at least one woman left the sine die party in tears, others were upset enough to actively avoid any contact with Hill the rest of the night, and still others sought the protection of men and other women who were there."

So inappropriate that "several men at the bar observed unwanted touching and offered to get involved."

So unacceptable that any elected leader with a hummingbird's teardrop of decency would have resigned before now.

But Creepy Curtis remains in power. He's still Indiana's highest-ranking law enforcement official. He still decides which cases — including those involving allegations of sexual harassment and assault — the state will pursue in court.

Others in positions of authority in the Statehouse recognize that Creepy Curtis needs to slink away. Gov. Eric Holcomb has called on Hill to resign. So has Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. So have top legislative leaders, including Senate President Pro Tem David Long and House Speaker Brian Bosma (who's now embroiled in his own scandal).

Creepy Curtis, however, is in deep denial about his behavior and its consequences.

He thinks people will forget that he put his hands where they weren't wanted. We'll forget that a woman fled a bar in tears because a man frightened and humiliated her. We'll forget that four brave women stood up at a press conference — where moments earlier a special prosecutor admitted that he'd given Creepy Curtis privileges that no ordinary citizen would get — to declare that they will fight back in civil court.

But, Creepy Curtis, we won't forget.

Inspector General Lori Torres' report erased any reasonable doubt about the attorney general's behavior. It's clear that Hill shamed the office he is privileged to hold and dishonored citizens in the state he is supposed to serve.

Time won't erase that shame and dishonor.

Curtis Hill will carry this stain for the rest of whatever remains of his public life. He forever shredded with his own hands his reputation, his political future and his legacy.

All that is left is a nickname. It's one none of us would want but Curtis Hill has earned.

Creepy Curtis.

It's long past time for him to go.
