Ex-adult film star Austin Wolf gets 19-year sentence for child exploitation

Justin Heath Smith, a 44-year-old former adult film actor who performed under the name Austin Wolf, has been sentenced to 19 years in prison for serious crimes involving children. He admitted to having sexual contact with a 15-year-old boy and attempting to arrange meetings to abuse other minors, including a 7-year-old. In January 2024, he planned to abuse a 9-year-old child, though this was never carried out.

Investigators discovered 1,291 files of child abuse material on his computer, including content involving infants and toddlers. He was also ordered to pay a $40,000 fine. US Attorney Jay Clayton emphasized the importance of protecting children from such predators.
