Kentucky attorney faces more human trafficking charges

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Authorities say a northern Kentucky attorney is facing more human trafficking charges. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced Wednesday in a statement that Robert L. Poole was indicted in Boone County on four counts of human trafficking and one count of bribing a witness. The statement said Poole is also facing human trafficking and related charges in nearby Kenton County. The trial in that case is set for September. Poole has pleaded not guilty to those charges. Erlanger Police investigated the case with assistance from the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Investigation Unit after receiving information during an investigation of former Campbell County District Judge Tim Nolan.
