Former adult film actor Austin Wolf, real name Justin Heath Smith, has been sentenced to 19 years in federal prison on two counts related to child sexual exploitation, prosecutors announced on Monday, September 29, 2025. The sentencing took place on Friday, September 26, concluding a case that drew significant public attention.
Wolf was first arrested in April 2024 after federal authorities uncovered approximately 200 videos containing child pornography in his Manhattan residence. He later pleaded guilty in June 2025 to charges that included enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity, admitting to crimes prosecutors described as deeply harmful.
Beyond his prison sentence, Wolf will be required to register as a sex offender and will face a lengthy period of supervised release following incarceration. Authorities stressed that the case highlights their commitment to protecting minors and ensuring accountability for those who exploit them.
