Adult film star Austin Wolf arrested on allegations of gruesome child porn videos
Porn star Austin Wolf has been arrested in New York City in connection with child pornography, according to the Department of Justice.
Wolf, real name Justin Heath Smith, is accused of sending and receiving hundreds of videos of child pornography via the messaging application Telegram between March 24 and 28.
The gay porn star, 43, allegedly sent and received images showing “children as young as babies, including one video showing a 10-year-old child being tied up and raped.”
He is also accused of possessing hundreds of child pornography videos in his Manhattan apartment.
One of Wolf’s last posts on social media contains the chilling text: “Have you seen what happens to little boys who follow me to the locker room?”

Wolf faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty on the charges.
According to detectives, they caught Wolf after confiscating the phone of the person he allegedly exchanged childhood photos with.
An undercover FBI agent then contacted Wolf’s allegedly anonymous Instagram account.
Wolf is said to have provided details through the chats to confirm his identity.
The FBI then executed a search warrant at Wolf’s apartment, where they say they found an SD card containing hundreds of videos depicting child abuse.
Wolf has almost 800,000 followers on Instagram and almost a million on X.
