Austin Wolf arrested on child porn charges

There is no evidence that Wolf is suffering from mental illness, let alone that it was exacerbated by porn and social media. Let's not speculate about things for which there is no evidence. 

The causes of pedophilia are not well known. Physiological models are investigating the potential relationship between hormones and behavior, particularly the role of aggression and male sexual hormones. Early research is underway exploring possible neurological causes. There is some evidence that pedophilia may run in families, though it is unclear whether this stems from genetics or learned behavior.

Pedophilia is an ongoing sexual attraction to pre-pubertal children. It is a paraphilia, a condition in which a person's sexual arousal and gratification depends on objects...

@KensingtonHomo I can speculate all I want especially when we are discussing a narcissist, on steroids, engaging in compulsive and sometimes illegal behavior for fame and fortune.

I'm not remotely defending Wolfe, as evidenced by every other post I've made here. Rather, I'm defending the mentally ill, who are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators. The evidence we have indicates that Wolfe traded this horrible media with other people while having the presence of mind to try and keep himself anonymous. He ran his own site and channel and chose his scene partners.

What I'm starting to read online is definitely in witch hunt territory. In that, there are people linking anyone who's worked with AW as either knowing he was doing this or partaking. Vilifying other porn actors who worked with him in the past is shameful. People keep secrets from even their closest friends/family.

I read some guy write that someone should make up of a list of every porn actor who's worked with him and go investigate/go after each and everyone. Until evidence is found that the other porn actors, who worked with him the past, comes out people need to stop the finger pointing.

I know it's human nature to gang up but sometimes it's just ridiculous.

we can assume the case is proved.

I don’t think you understand how "innocent, until proven guilty" works. 

I do think it’s odd that they seem to be bringing a VERY narrow case against him. Either there isn’t more to charge him with (doubtful), or he’s just a small fish in a much larger investigation and they’re just applying enough pressure to get him to flip without playing their full hand (likely).

Either way, what will be will be.

Sadly, "truth" is more and more a rare commodity, including some wild accusations in this thread.

The internet has no editor and little fact checking. 

Hopefully "truth" will survive.  For some it might be too little, too late

"Innocent until proven guilty" is about the law, not public opinion. I do not think Wolfe should be imprisoned or punished if the government cannot prove its case against him. That said, many of us noticed his content's direction and found it creepy. He apparently choked a "scene partner" unconscious and then had sex with him. That's rape in my view. 

They're not bringing a narrow case against him. We don't yet know what the charges are. It could end up being hundreds of counts of possessing and distributing child pornography. There have also been young men coming forward to say he was abusive toward them. This could be the tip of the iceberg. And if they have cast a net to find his accomplices, the FBI most likely already has information on them. They found Wolfe through someone he was exchanging videos with, so that person is also going down.

Let me repeat: It's COMMON in federal cases to initially bring narrow charges just sufficient to arrest and hold the person. As they go through his iPhone, computer, apartment etc., they will collect more evidence. With that will almost certainly come more charges in a superseding indictment. This is how it works. This is STANDARD.

I don’t know why you’re quoting me as if we’re disagreeing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry I quoted the wrong post. We aren't disagreeing. You and I don't think have ever disagreed. 
I've edited my post to remove the quote and will  let my post stand and speak for itself. (It was for a couple of posts above yours but my comment is fine on its own).

Any speculation about what will happen to Austin Wolf is just that.  There's a fairly recent case involving a guy in his early twenties who had sex many times with a 16 year old, filmed it, and posted it on Only Fans and Just For Fans.  The guy fled to Puerto Vallarta from Kansas and was working under an alias until he was arrested and sent back to the US to face charges.  Despite having many videos of him and the victim having sex, he was allowed to plead guilty to "attempting" to create child pornography.  I don't think he's been sentenced yet, but apparently he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison with a maximum of 30 years.

I know the allegations against Wolf that are public so far only involve him distributing and receiving child pornography, not producing it himself, so I didn't bring up the above case to say they are equivalent.  I just thought it might offer some insight into how the government might prosecute someone in Wolf's circumstance.

He does face a minimum of 5 years for what he's charged with currently. My guess is he'll get 10 years if convicted. He's not just charged with simple possession. He's charged with possessing and also distributing it so it's not going to be the minimum 5 years.

Recently I posted about me being an advocate for children exploitation, espcaily males. This makes me feel outraged because like it or not, it gives the haters of gay men amunition to repeat the same garbage that they have for centuries. However, I am glad that although it took a child (at least one) to get sexually assaulted, one more pedophile, and possible the rest in his circle, are being charged.

I can easily see the recipient of his communications using the "I only received it and deleted it as soon as I saw what it was" defense.

Also this is a great example of how online communication is easily traced by the police, though their resources to trace evryt single illegal activity are not enough. I hope for the wellbeing of those children who were put to harm, and I really hope that their parents were not in it with him (as many times has happened).

Sad news all around.

Yes, unfortunately we all are going to pay for the actions of a few. 

The word groomer has been used in this site (of all possible places) many times.

I'm not going to post the screen grabs, but PA is engaging in apologia for Wolf. That you cannot see that is troubling. 

If you WOULD grab a few screens of my comments, you'd find that I EXPLAINED how he may have gone down a rabbit hole for financial gain. I certainly didn't defend the distribution of kiddie porn. Thats why nobody (but you) sees it. Your hatred toward me is exposing your own issues. Stick to the subject and stop the personal attacks @KensingtonHomo There's a difference between distributing porn with underage youth and actually producing it. Neither are acceptable, but let's see how this plays out in the court before we go trashing everyone and everything connected to him.

My point is that at this time, we don't know what charges (if any) Austin Wolf will eventually be found guilty of.  The other guy was able to plead to one "attempted" charge even though the government found scores of porn videos he produced where he was with the 16-year-old and then sold online.  His actual, not attempted, actions were documented on camera.  If that guy was able to plea down, it's entirely possible that Wolf could be able to do so as well.  Then again, the videos described in the article regarding Austin Wolf are clearly beyond what this other guy produced.  They clearly involved prepubescent kids, not older but still not legal teens, and it sounds like at least one was a brutal rape scene.  Maybe prosecutors are less inclined to give someone an opportunity to plead to lesser charges when the content involved is clearly much more depraved.

Hard sell for me. I am done with the obsession of blaming everything to some kind of mental disease. Nope.

How about this silly little thing named ACCOUNTABILITY.

I won't go into much detail because I took this class several years ago and cannot say that I have all of the details memorized, but I attended a training from a psychologist with decades of experience in research and treatment of child sex perpetrators and the most surprising thing she said was this: A large percentage of men experience sexual arousal when shown sexually suggestive images of children.  She basically said the difference between the men she treated and those she didn't was not the physiological impulse but rather the control of those impulses.

This will be a fascinating court case, no doubt. Did the minor intentionally deceive his age like Traci Lords did? Since this individual was from a foreign country, was the age of consent acceptable where the filming took place, but illegal in the U.S.A.?

Around a couple of years or so ago, I remember Austin doing a scene with a height challenged individual (perhaps this is who this case may possibly be revolving around, I don't know). For most, it is incredibly uncomfortable watching something that looks like it is tremendously inappropriate.

Did you even read the articles? It's not about the content he produced. He had and exchanged pornographic images of children as at least as young as 10.

I did not. I only saw the headline and the comments on the sixth page, which mentioned a 16 year old, not a 10 year old.

Here are the actual charges. Note the following ([Wolf] telegram owner = Austin Wolf):

Page 2, paragraph 6.c:

The review of Phone-1 further revealed that Target Telegram User-1 and the user of the [Wolf] Telegram Account exchanged approximately 200 videos and images containing child pornography on Telegram between March 24, 2024 and March 28, 2024. These videos depicted children as young as infants. 

Page 2, paragraph 6.d

"..on or about March 24, 2024, the user of the [Wolf] Telegram Account sent Target Telegram User-1 dozens of videos containing child pornography, including a video with the file name “sdpa_gay_niño_de_10_años_atado_y_violado_por_adulto2_1.mp4” which translates, in substance and part, to“sdpa_gay_10-year-old_boy_tied_and_raped_ by_adult2_1.mp4.” The video shows a child of approximately 10 years old bound, beaten, and raped by an adult man."

These charges, if true, are not fascinating. They are disgusting and abhorrent.
