Moises Godoy, of Thornton, lured a girl from the local pool to his apartment to see his 'pet duck' and sexually assaulted her, a jury ruled.

BROOMFIELD, CO -- A Thornton man found guilty of luring a 7-year-old girl to his apartment from the local swimming pool and sexually assaulting her was sentenced Thursday to 24 years-to-life in prison for kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault on a child. Moises Godoy, 48, was found guilty Aug. 17 of charges of second-degree kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault on a child and enticement of a child.
In July, 2016, Godoy was at an apartment complex swimming pool when he lured the girl to his apartment in the 1700 block of Coronado Pkwy., offering to show her his pet duck. The girl followed Godoy to his apartment where he sexually assaulted her. Another girl at the pool told police Godoy had been offering to help children at the pool learn to swim and had offered to show the pet duck to several children.
Adams County District Court Judge Thomas Ensor sentenced Godoy to 24 years for kidnapping, 16 years to life for aggravated sexual assault on a child and six years to life for enticement of a child, all to be served concurrently, according to a statement by the Adams Co. District Atty. David Young. The judge also ordered that Godoy not have contact with his children.
