A northern Kentucky attorney is facing human trafficking charges in two Kentucky counties.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced that a Boone County Grand Jury indicted attorney Robert L. Poole, 50, of Burlington, for human trafficking and bribing a witness. The charges include four counts of human trafficking – commercial sex activity, a class C felony, and one count of bribing a witness, a class D felony.
The investigation was led by the Erlanger Police Department, officials said, with assistance from the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Investigation Unit.
The investigation into Poole began when Erlanger police received information regarding Poole from the investigation of former Campbell County District Judge Tim Nolan, who was sentenced in 2018 to 20 years in prison on human trafficking charges.
Poole is currently facing human trafficking and other related charges in Kenton County as well. His Kenton County trial is set for September.
