Just as we were closing in on the one-year anniversary of his arrest, Austin Wolf finally appeared in court for his preliminary hearing.  As you’ll undoubtedly recall, the Feds raided the gay porn superstar’s home on June 28, 2024 and arrested him for sending and receiving hundreds of child pornography videos.  People kept asking for updates.  Curiously, the preliminary hearing kept getting delayed in one-month increments…until last week.  Wolf (real name: Justin Heath Smith) was on one side of the courtroom.  The Assistant District Attorney was on the other.  The charges were read, which included interstate commerce, enticing a minor to engage in activity in the facility of another individual, and oral sex with an individual younger than 17 years old.  And then, Wolf pled guilty!

However, he made no mention of the child pornography.  “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.  I know what I was doing was wrong.  I apologize.  I knew it was wrong when I did it.  I don’t blame anyone else for my conduct.  It was another person engaging in the conduct.  I take full 100 percent responsibility for my actions and I am prepared for the consequence,” said Wolf in what sounds like a very carefully crafted statement.  We’re told the child pornography charges will be dropped in light of his admission of guilt to the more serious crime.  The minimum mandatory charge is 10 years in prison.  He will be sentenced on September 9^th.

In a curious codicil to this story, one unknown man was in the courtroom.  After the hearing, he identified himself as a “former fan” of Austin Wolf.  “I wish I could get a refund on all the money I spent on his videos.”
