The case in Campbell County Circuit Court garnered national attention. Nolan's brash style made him one of the more visible campaigners for President Trump in Northern Kentucky, though since his arrest many in the campaign publicly questioned his claim of heading the campaign in Campbell County.
"This has been one of oddest cases Ive ever seen," Lape told the courtroom as she started the sentencing on Friday.
The charges against Nolan involved 19 women, seven of which were under 18, and go back as far as 2004. All but two were addicted to opioids, Whaley said.
He would often visit a local woman's shelter in Covington, Transitions' Women's Residential Addiction Program, and "was a frequent volunteer at drug court," to meet women addicted to opioids, said Assistant Attorney General Barbara Whaley, the special prosecutor in the case.
Transitions didn't respond to a message seeking comment.

Not sure what the actual rule is, but I try to use who and whom when Im talking about people.
Totally missed the rape apologist bullshit.

(16,835 posts)How can that be allowed to happen? Why was that even offered in a plea deal? He's only being sentenced for about a year per victim! If he gets out in 4 years, that's 2-3 months per victim for human trafficking, which is basically slavery. That's disgusting.

(16,835 posts)a boy getting molested than they are when it happens to a girl. Unless the girl is killed or is very young, there's often an implication that the girl brought it on herself somehow, or at least that she failed to protect herself well enough.

(16,835 posts)When a woman molests a boy, the grown men around him tell him he should be grateful for the experience. When a man does it, the whole family worries that the boy was 'turned' gay. I did have one friend about 20 years ago who was molested by a woman and it messed him up badly. The woman was his mother.

Jesus holy taint! This is predatory.
Im OK with the 20-year sentencing; not so much that he could be free in eight.
