"For more than three years, the front porch of an upscale, two-story home in the Elkhorn area was a stage for strippers.
Prostitutes bared their breasts and sometimes completely disrobed. Their pimps peered into the windows.
It happened at least 75 times. The strippers were a vexing mystery to the home's residents, a couple in their 30s with 1 and 3-year-old boys, who sometimes were alerted to an arrival by someone kicking on their door or ringing the bell.
When the couple answered the door, some of the strippers became upset because they expected to be paid by someone at the residence.
The couple could not explain the train of escorts that they believe began in May 2013, about a month after the couple moved in.
The answer became clearer in March during an investigation by law enforcement.
The man responsible for the unwanted shows lived just across the street at North 185th and Indiana Streets, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Douglas Goldsberry, their 45-year-old neighbor, was arrested Wednesday by deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. They allege that he paid the women and that he was motivated by his own sexual gratification.
He watched from his kitchen window and masturbated, he told a deputy in an interview, the Sheriff's Office said.
"Goldsberry said there were occasions when he would take digital photographs of the girls and save them to a memory card," the deputy wrote in an affidavit filed in Douglas County Court.
Goldsberry was charged with felony pandering.
The family sought a protection order against him.
In it, the husband wrote that Goldsberry was playing a "sick sexual game of getting them to strip completely nude on our front porch for his selfish enjoyment.
"This has resulted in a paranoid and extremely fearful household for my young family and a complete interruption of our daily lives," the man wrote.
The man's wife called law enforcement authorities in March, when strippers appeared eight days that month. Deputies conducted surveillance on the street on two nights in late March, and on one of those nights they watched as two women exposed their breasts on the porch.
Deputies interviewed the women and learned that they were hired through backpage.com, a classified advertising website that features ads for escorts. The Sheriff's Office retrieved information from the women's phone that led them to the suspect. They also obtained photos of text messages between the women and the suspect.
Beyond the pandering accusation, the Sheriff's Office alleges that Goldsberry met with escorts in hotel rooms for sex.
In the back of his vehicle he carried a roadside hazard bag that held the accoutrements for sex sales. Cash, lubricant, hotel keys and a list of escorts and contact information.
Goldsberry was jailed Thursday night. His wife did not return a reporter's call.
Oh, commentary. Go Huskers!
