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.

This will not be talked about much on the news if it ever is, but Thank God he is off the streets. He will likely die in jail.

I am tuned to FOX (the so called conservative) and not a peep. It's as if pedophilia does not exist. Only Laura Ingraham mentioned about Steven Paddock and child porn ties and that was it. (I am sure Laura was told to back off) As for CNN, MSM.... what is child trafficking? What is a pedo ring???!' It's desperate white wash.

I read on Data Lounge yesterday that Steve Doocey is gay. I like to go there, for some real zingers. Many are on to SS and WA although some do defend. We can't trust any of them to live the truth. So how can they tell the truth. Idk, I listen to my local news and I hear more on there than anywhere. They even reported Elsagate. Don't do cable for over a year now at least. I am hoping something happens so that they will not be able to avoid it. Something so big they are all left with Egg On Their Faces. Please God.
