The married couple felt afraid and captive in their own home for nearly four years.

About 30 times each year, women would show up on their front porch late at night or early in the morning. They would strip and then, seeking payment, would try to open the front door or ring the doorbell, waking the Elkhorn couple’s two young children.

It caused marital stress and affected their professional lives.

The visits and the women’s actions were orchestrated by a neighbor across the street: Douglas Goldsberry, who masturbated while watching from his kitchen.

“It’s a really twisted and sick plot,” said Deputy Douglas County Attorney Chad Brown, adding that Goldsberry called it “a screening process.”

“He derived pleasure out of how far he could control these women to see how far he could get them to go.”

Goldsberry, 45, was sentenced to the same amount of time he terrorized the family — four years, the maximum penalty on his pandering charge.

Under state guidelines that cut sentences in half, Goldsberry will serve less than two years, with credit for 177 days already served in jail.

But he also faces other charges.
