Attorney General Cameron Announces Guilty Plea of Northern Kentucky Attorney for Human Trafficking Charges

Was indicted in December of 2018

 Attorney General Daniel Cameron today announced that Robert L. Poole, 53, pleaded guilty in Kenton Circuit Court to five counts of Promoting Human Trafficking – commercial sex activity, which is a Class D felony, involving five different victims. 

Poole, an attorney based in Boone County, was indicted in Kenton Circuit Court in November 2018 on multiple counts of human trafficking.  Sentencing is set for December 16, 2021, at 12:00 p.m. ET. 

The investigation in this case was led by the Erlanger Police Department.  Erlanger Police received information regarding Poole from the investigation of former Campbell County District Judge Tim Nolan.  Nolan was sentenced in 2018 to 20 years in prison for human trafficking charges. 

Assistant Attorney General Barbara Whaley prosecuted the case involving Timothy Nolan on behalf of the Commonwealth.  Whaley and Assistant Attorney General Denise Durbin prosecuted Poole’s case.  Charges against Poole remain pending in Boone County.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Cameron launched the Your Eyes Save Lives human trafficking awareness campaign to assist Kentuckians in recognizing and reporting the signs of human trafficking.  To learn more, visit youreyessavelives.ky.gov.
