Though the incidents were reported only recently, it is believed they had been going on for three or four years, said Douglas County Sheriff Tim Dunning.

“A lot of these instances, I think the family was gone,” he said.

At first the stripping happened only once a month or so, and deputies were going off of seemingly random reports.

“When it got more and more and more, they got law enforcement more heavily involved,” said Lt. Will Rinn of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The neighbor’s wife called authorities in March, when strippers appeared at the house eight days that month. Deputies conducted surveillance on two nights in late March. On one of the nights they watched as two women exposed their breasts.

Deputies interviewed the women, learning that they were hired through Backpage, a classified advertising website that features ads for escorts.

The Sheriff’s Office retrieved information from the women’s phone that led to Goldsberry. They also obtained photos of text messages they said were sent between the women and Goldsberry.

“What we found out was, basically, this guy hasn’t been paying these prostitutes either,” Dunning said.
