Former Campbell County District Judge Timothy Nolan has pleaded guilty to numerous felony charges, including human trafficking of adults, promoting human trafficking of minors and unlawful transaction with minors.
As part of his plea agreement with prosecutors from Attorney General Andy Beshear’s Special Prosecutions Division, Nolan pleaded guilty to 21 counts against 19 victims and prosecutors’ recommended sentences totaling 20 years in prison.
Nolan, 71, of California, Ky., a former local school board member, was originally charged in a criminal complaint by the Campbell County Police Department for crimes that occurred between 2010 and 2017. That complaint alleged that Nolan committed human trafficking with a minor by subjecting a child under age 18 to engaging in commercial sexual activity.
He was later indicted on 28 felony counts and two misdemeanor counts.
“The punishment in this case does not undo the trauma inflicted on the victims, but it brings closure and some justice,” Beshear said. “I want to thank the Campbell County Police Department and our special prosecutions team for working this case.”
As part of his plea agreement, Nolan will pay a total of $110,000, a large portion of which will go into the Human Trafficking Victims Fund established by Kentucky lawmakers in 2013.
Nolan is subject to lifetime sex offender registration.

20 years and $110k? That's 1.05 years and $5,789 per victim. Fuck that, strip him of every god damn cent and immediately execute that piece of shit. Intern his ashes in an outhouse so the public can forever piss and shit on him.

There isn't a fucking fine they could impose that would make up for or equal what he did.

Assholes like this get reduced sentences for some reason, but that is the opposite of what should happen. If you're caught abusing power given to you by the people (in theory that's where all government power comes from) you should have a harsher sentence. Prosecutes seem to love to make examples out of the poor random guy caught doing something mostly benign, but they seem treat political and connected guys with kid gloves. That needs to change.

Pres.Trump needs to sign a new Law stating that people in 'Positions of Power' sentences should be double the average Joe. THEN they might actually serve the right time, because most of the them get let off halfway though (or even less) eg: Epstein!!!!!

It's terrible that they allow rich people on house arrest and low fines. I wouldn't be surprised if this former judge gets it all reduced to a house fine eventually. His entire bank account should be eaten up in fines just like an ordinary person who has to pay for charges far less than pedo's.

Couldn't agree more!
