Gay porn star Austin Wolf arrested on child pornography charges

Austin Wolf, a well-known gay porn star, has been arrested on child pornography charges, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. 

 

The U.S. Attorney Damian Williams and the assistant director of the FBI's New York Field Office announced the arrest on Friday, June 28. 

 

Wolf, whose real name is Justin Heath Smith, is accused of receiving and distributing hundreds of child pornography videos. The FBI alleges that Wolf used an anonymous Telegram account to exchange these videos between March 24 and 28 of this year. About a month later, a search warrant was executed at Wolf's home, where SD cards containing hundreds of explicit videos and images involving children were found.

 

Prosecutors described the contents of the SD cards as extremely disturbing. Wolf has been charged with one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

 

Wolf has appeared in over 100 adult films since his debut in 2012, according to the Internet Adult Film Database.
