The adult film star was arrested in 2024 and in June this year pleaded guilty to the felony charges of enticing a 15-year-old minor for unlawful sexual contact.

Prosecutors had called for the offender to be handed down a sentence that was at the top end of the range for the offence, and the judge Paul A. Engelmayer agreed with their assessment.

In court documents prosecutors characterised Smith as a serial predator whose actions went far beyond the single charge he pleaded to. Smith’s defence lawyers unsuccessfully argued for him to be sentenced to a 10 year stint behind bars.

The court also heard victims statements from many of the young boys that Smith had recorded in sexual situations.

As Austin Wolf, Smith had a high profile career as a gay adult entertainer.
