A Commerce City man who was caught trying to solicit a child for sex in an undercover operation has been sentenced to probation and six years of deferred prison time.
Daniel Goodfield, 40, pleaded guilty to patronizing a prostituted child, soliciting for child prostitution and soliciting or attempting a cybercrime, all felonies, after contacting Larimer County Sheriff’s Office investigators who had posed as underaged sex workers online.
Goodfield negotiated to have sex with two girls, including a 14-year-old, and was arrested in March when he traveled to a hotel in Larimer County, the office said in a news release.

“We can’t control what happens downstream in the justice process, but the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office will continue rooting out those who want to exploit kids in our community,” Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen said in the release. “If we can keep one child from being victimized, it’s worth our time, effort, and resources.”
