Austin Wolf Sentenced to 19 Years in Federal Prison for Enticing a Minor

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer imposed a decade of supervision plus a $40,000 fine following Smith’s guilty plea to enticement.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutors said the adult performer, whose legal name is Justin Heath Smith, received 19 years after admitting to enticing a minor in the Southern District of New York.
  • Investigators reported seizing approximately 1,291 files of child sexual abuse material, including about 75 depicting infants or toddlers and some involving violent rape, with distribution to at least 15 people.
  • As part of a plea agreement, some possession and distribution charges were resolved while Smith agreed not to contest additional allegations of attempted enticements and other prohibited sexual conduct.
  • Court filings detail communications over Snapchat and Telegram, an offense involving a 15-year-old, and an undercover operation that intercepted plans to abuse a purported 7-year-old child.
  • Prosecutors pressed for a sentence near the top of the guidelines as victims submitted impact statements, while the defense sought the 10-year minimum citing lack of prior convictions and claimed rehabilitation.
