Austin Wolf pleads guilty to enticing a minor for sex
A conviction would see the adult entertainer serve a mandatory minimum of 10 years in jail.
Following an investigation by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Austin Wolf - who's government name is Justin Heath Smith, aged 43 - was initially charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
After a nearly year being held in custody without bail - while plea negotiations were underway - Wolf/Smith has now plead guilty to the charge of enticing a minor for sex.
If convicted on this charge, Wolf/Smith faces a mandatory minimum jail term of 10 years.
It's not exactly clear how the plea negotiations landed on this charge but reporting indicates that the charges relating to possession and distribution have now been dropped, so it appears that Wolf/Smith has possibly given prosecutors something that warrants them agreeing to less jail time than the charges he was initially facing.
According to the plea document filed with the court, the offence that Wolf/Smith is pleading guilty to relates to an incident in 2023 or 2024 when Wolf/Smith "and another individual" induced a 15-year-old to engage in a sexual encounter while they were in New York.
Wolf/Smith appeared in court last Friday for the plea hearing. Reporting by the New York Post has the statement that Wolf/Smith made to the court.
“In late 2023 or early 2024, I induced a 15-year-old to engage in a sex act, I don’t remember through text or [social media], but phones were definitely used..." said Wolf/Smith. "I know what I was doing was wrong. I apologise. I knew it was wrong when I did it. I don’t blame anyone else for my conduct. [although] It was another person engaging in the conduct. I take full 100 percent responsibility for my actions and I am prepared for the consequences.”
According to the reporting of the plea hearing, the prosecution detailed that the offence centred on "enticing a minor to engage in activity in the facility of another individual" which suggests that it may have been a grooming situation where Wolf/Smith could possibly have been coaching the 15-year-old and encouraging them to have sex with the other person.
There's also a reference from the prosecution about "oral sex with an individual younger than 17 years old" but it's not clear if that's alleging that Wolf/Smith was the one giving or receiving oral sex or if it again relates to the grooming scenario suggested by the plea documents.
Wolf/Smith will continue to remain in custody until sentencing - scheduled for 9 September.
