William Goad was a British millionaire businessman from Plymouth, imprisoned for life for child rape. He was called in various newspapers "Britain's most prolific paedophile", with his assaults causing two of his victims to commit suicide, he pleaded guilty to 14 counts of rape. He was described in court as a “voracious, calculating and violent homosexual paedophile” who sexually abused young boys over a 30-year period. Goad was sent to prison for life in October 2004, his abuse spanned 35 years with victims as young as eight. He bought homes overlooking school playgrounds and had ten boys staying at his home at any one time, they were threatened with harm to their mothers if they talked and were given cash and employment in Goad's shops. Goad is reported to have boasted of abusing 142 children in a year. Goad's fortune was once estimated to be around £25 million. Goad opened Cornish Market World in 1991, which became at one point Britain's biggest indoor market with more than 300 stalls. In the mid-1990s Goad launched Ben's Playworld, a children's play zone hosting a range of activities aimed at 2 to 12-year-olds, including mega-slides, giant tubes and a massive ball-pond.

One of his victims gave statements in the late 80s and early 90s, which led to his first arrest for indecent assault. Goad was put on probation; as a result of increasing statements from victims, a police investigation, Operation Emotion, had opened up. Goad changed his name to David Scott and moved to the nearby town of Ivybridge. In 1998 he fled to Thailand on a false passport, aware that police were on his tail following new allegations, he was arrested in June 2003 after returning to UK on a false passport. A bank employee had tipped the police off, following his credit card use in the UK, he was arrested while travelling on a train with his financial business associate. He required heart surgery before being fit to stand in court. During Goad's ill-health Operation Emotion II had been under way by police and had persuaded 17 victims to testify at trial against him. Goad pleaded not guilty to the charges and claimed he was sexually abused at a younger age. Following overwhelming evidence and comments from the judge to his legal defence, he pleaded guilty.

At his sentencing, Martin Meeke QC stated "It is believed there has been no single defendant with more victims than this man". Goad died of natural causes at HMP Isle of Wight, Albany on 20 October 2012

State Route 306 is a state highway in northern Nevada, United States. It connects the mining area of Gold Acres in Lander County to Interstate 80 at the Beowawe Interchange near Beowawe in Eureka County via Crescent Valley; the road has been a state highway since the 1920s, having been established as part of a much longer State Route 21 by 1929. SR 306 begins at the road to Barrack Cortez Mine, just east of Gold Acres in central Lander County. From this point, the route heads in a north-northeasterly direction, away from the mountains of the Shoshone Range. After about 12 miles, the highway crosses into Eureka County and passes through the small community of Crescent Valley. Passing through the town, SR 306 continues on its straight course northward through the valley of the same name; the route reaches the town of Beowawe, where it crosses over the Union Pacific Railroad, soon after, bridges the Humboldt River. The highway passes through Whirlwind Valley before reaching Interstate 80, where SR 306 terminates at the Beowawe Interchange.

The road dates back to at least 1929. At that time, it was part of a longer State Route 21 which extended north from SR 2/U. S. Route 50 in Nevada near Austin all the way through Crescent Valley and Beowawe to SR 1/US 40. By 1933, the southern end of SR 21 had been extended beyond Austin, branching from US 50 just west of town and heading in a southwesterly direction towards Ione. Not counting the brief overlap with US 50, the total length of State Route 21 was around 144 miles; the entire route remained a dirt or gravel-graded route until about 1958, when the northern 30 miles between Gold Point and US 40 were paved. Aside from a little more paving south of Gold Point, SR 21 remained unchanged into the 1970s. However, on July 1, 1976, Nevada began a renumbering of its state highways. In this process, the paved portion of the highway between Crescent Valley and US 40/I-80 north of Beowawe was redesignated as State Route 306; this change was first seen on state maps in 1978. The rest of SR 21 remained on official Nevada maps for a short time, but was removed from the state highway system by 1982.

The paved highway extending to the Gold Acres site wasn't shown on state maps until 1993. The route has remained unchanged since. Note: Mileposts in Nevada reset at county lines.
