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.

yo folks.... arent we gonna talk about how this guy was a former chairman of Trump's Kentucky campaign?

Yeah, because Trump's probably a pedo himself, since a hillbilly KY judge pedo-trafficker supported him.
Of course then you'd have to consider that Trump made human trafficking a campaign issue and has stepped up prosecution of human traffickers by a factor of 10.....
I'm pretty sure over the next 6 months, Democrats will be very happy to leave discussion of political party OUT of bigger prosecutions that are shaping up.....

i know, i know my gut tells me Trump is on the level. But as impartisan investigators we have to ask, discuss, and find why a pedo was on team trump. Maybe he got busted as a result of revealing himself to Trumps white-hats. maybe trump is 'keeping his enemies closer'. But we have to keep in contention that maybe Trump is dirty and pretends to be a human trafficking crusader because he perceives it to be the achilles heel of his major factional rival within the illuminati

Trump selected Mike Flynn - who was exposing PG. Trump is clean. His tweet on Oct8, 2012 is a vindication of that.

It can't hurt to think that critically, usually its the smartest thing. I just can't believe he'd make an issue of trafficking AND go to war over globalization/immigration to get a leg up on rivals....BOTH parties aligned against him, plus the media....I'm throwing in w/ team Trump because I think he's legit and if he isn't...we're damned anyway.
I think that upon success, we're going to see the heros are military officers that evaded the Obama purges, and Trump was a once-in-a-lifetime recruit that the good guys needed to carry the ball, and he was willing to answer the call.
