In a stunning revelation, the U.S. Department of Justice unveiled the indictment of former Kentucky prosecutor Ronnie Goldy Jr. Not merely a legal wrangle, this tale is laced with the dark alleys of deception and under-the-table deals. Goldy is currently under the microscope for a whopping six counts of wire fraud and an additional eight related to bribery.
The threads of Goldy’s alleged indiscretions unravel, revealing a disturbing misuse of his influential position.
His tenure as the commonwealth’s attorney for Bath, Menifee, Montgomery, and Rowan counties was allegedly punctuated by a chilling trade: favors in the courtroom for favors in the bedroom, a quid pro quo that leaves the integrity of the justice system hanging in the balance.

According to the indictment, Goldy’s brazen acts included manipulating the scales of justice for a defendant, Misty Helton.
Goldy not only pulled strings for her case but orchestrated a puppeteer’s performance, pulling colleagues into his deceptive web over a period stretching three long years, concluding in November 2020.
