DURANGO, Colo. (KREX) - A Southern Ute Trial member was sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to two charges of abusive sexual contact with a child.

Ignacio man Kalin Burton Goodtracks, 36, was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison followed by 25 years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a Justice of Victims of Trafficking Act assessment of $10,000.

Goodtracks sexually abused two minors under the age of 12 who were under his supervision in separate incidents in 2019. He committed the offenses at his home on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation.

“Mr. Goodtracks deserves to spend a long time in federal prison because he preyed upon children he was supposed to protect,” said U.S. Attorney Peter McNeilly. “Pursuing justice for the most vulnerable in Colorado — and especially our children — remains one of our top priorities.”

“This case is a clear reminder that those who exploit children — including those on tribal lands — will find no safe haven from justice, no matter where they are,” said FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge Mark Michalek. “These predators pose a serious threat to the safety of our communities and the FBI will aggressively pursue anyone who targets children.”

U.S. District Court Judge Gordon P. Gallagher sentenced Goodtracks on Monday.
