Victoria, 32, will serve three and seven-and-a-half years in state prison as part of a deal she previously copped for pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. (As part of the deal, a separate charge of soliciting murder was dropped.)

“I’m so immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I’ve caused you and the betrayal you undoubtedly and rightfully feel by my actions,” Victoria told her ex-husband in court before Clark County judge Nadia Krall read her sentence. “I need you to know that I will always hold love for you. I genuinely pray you find your joy and peace again, and I will bow out of your life forever to hopefully ease that process.

“I’m sorry I broke us, and I’m consumed with regret every day. My absolute promise to you is that you’ll never see or hear from me.”

Police said Goodwin conspired to hire a hitman with the help of Grant Amato, a Florida prisoner. They alleged that Victoria promised Amato — an inmate serving life in a Florida prison for murdering his parents and brother in 2019 — $11.5K to have Aaron killed.

Aaron, who filed for divorce a week after his ex-wife’s arrest, also spoke on Thursday. And he did not seem in a forgiving mood.

“This has led me into fear of my life,” he told the judge. “I’ve hired … armed security for weeks, not knowing it was over or not a lot, always looking over my shoulder and having to go through therapy and even trying to understand any of it.

“It’s like a heartbreak no one should go through in life. I can’t trust anything anymore. I cry every day. I feel so alone … I didn’t know about any of the murder plot, hit man or the blackmail until the detectives told me after she was arrested.

“Now behind bars she’s trying to manipulate through lawyers and trying to silence me and not come here today.”
