Attorney General Andy Beshear announced today that a former Campbell County District Judge has been charged with human trafficking, a Class B felony; first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor, a Class C felony; and third-degree unlawful transaction with a minor, a Class A misdemeanor.
Timothy Nolan, 70, of California, Ky., was arraigned today in Boone District Court by Elizabeth Chandler, Special Campbell District Judge.
An arrest warrant was sought for Nolan April 20 by Campbell County Police Department for the crimes that occurred in August 2016.
Judge Chandler placed Nolan on an ankle monitor with no contact with victims and family – in person, telephone or electronic means, and set a preliminary hearing for 2 p.m. May 5 in Boone District court.
Beshear’s Special Prosecution Division is handling the case. The division is responsible for assisting local prosecutors in complex or sensitive cases, as well as the handling of cases in which local prosecutors recuse themselves.
A core mission of Beshear’s is to bring justice to victims of rape, sexual assault and human trafficking.
