A 62-year-old man caught in a Fort Collins police sting was sentenced Monday to 10 years of probation and up to two years in a community corrections halfway house for sexual exploitation of a child, authorities said.
Roger Leon Estergaard will receive credit for 100 hours served in the Larimer County jail since his arrest in 2024 on suspicion of internet sexual exploitation of a child, internet luring of a child and attempted sexual assault of a child, all felonies, Larimer County District Attorney spokesperson Kylie Massman said.
Judge Juan Villasenor issued the sentence with the conditions that Estergaard have no contact with anyone under 18 and that he register as a sex offender, according to the court order.
Fort Collins police identified Estergaard through his “inappropriate engagement with an underage online persona” and arrested him in July 2024 after he traveled to Fort Collins believing he was meeting a juvenile girl for sex.
