Court papers detail alleged abuse by late artist Indiana
By Stephen Betts | May 28, 2021
The late artist Robert Indiana, best known for his iconic LOVE sculpture, left an estate worth at least $90 million when he died in May 2018 at the age of 89.
But Indiana also left behind young male victims who, by various accounts, were preyed on by Indiana and rewarded for sex with money and gifts.
In September 1990, Indiana was arrested by the Knox County Sheriff s Office and charged with three counts of engaging a prostitute for allegedly paying young men, often teens, for sex.
Two counts involving one young man were dismissed before trial because the young man refused to cooperate. But the third charge involving a different victim went to trial. A Knox County jury deliberated for four hours before finding Indiana not guilty.
