A 33-year-old man from Colorado is facing prison time after he secretly tracked his ex-wife and threatened her and their child, all while he was already on probation for a previous domestic violence incident against her.

Taylor Warford, who resides in Denver, was found guilty on Wednesday for felony stalking and breaking a protection order following a disturbing sequence of actions aimed at victim Amy Goggins, as reported by authorities.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Nate Marsh with the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office called the verdict a major win for survivor safety.

“This verdict delivers a strong message that stalking is a serious and escalating threat,” stated Marsh. “Ms. Goggins demonstrated remarkable courage in coming forward, and this conviction guarantees that Warford will no longer be able to harm her.”

According to a news release from the district attorney’s office, Warford’s wife left him in 2023 due to the domestic violence charges and moved to Castle Rock, Colorado, to “escape the abuse.” The victim was also granted a court order prohibiting Warford from contacting her.

In response, Warford’s “behavior escalated,” prosecutors said, including placing an electronic tracker on her vehicle. When the victim discovered the GPS tracker hidden in her car, she contacted authorities, who soon learned that it was purchased by Warford while he was still under active probation supervision.

Warford also took other alarming steps that signaled he was a danger to his ex-wife.

“Warford’s family members also contacted authorities after he purchased five sets of handcuffs and a butane torch using a shared family Amazon account,” the release states. “He reportedly told them he planned to ‘wipe out’ his ex-wife and child. In addition, authorities are investigating reports of Warford allegedly attempting to acquire bomb making materials.”

Warford is currently being held in the Jefferson County Detention Center without bond as he awaits his sentencing hearing, which is currently scheduled to take place on Sept. 12. He is facing a maximum penalty of up to eight years in a state correctional facility.

“This case highlights a number of weaknesses in our criminal justice system, including the risk created for the public by placing violence-threatening defendants on probation and sending them back into our community,” District Attorney George Brauchler  said in a statement following the conviction. “Jefferson County probation was no protection for our Douglas County citizen. Here the jury saw past the faux-mental health defense he was permitted to spring on the jury at trial. Finally, a word to would-be domestic violence abuser: she is over you. Move on. It is less costly than losing years of liberty.”
