These sexual incidents happened in the 1990s, with the latest reported incident happening in 2010.
The investigation revealed that Goff sexually abused multiple minors beginning in the early 1990s. Over the course of the investigation, detectives with Charlotte Crimes Against Children Unit identified numerous victims, further strengthening the scope of this case.
In February 2022 cops received an email from a victim of Goff’s asking for help in reporting abuse from the 1990s when the victim was 13-years-old. After interviewing this victim, detectives were able to identify more victims and begin building a case against Goff.
