Adult film star Austin Wolf has been arrested and charged in New York over child pornography offences.

The adult actor, whose real name is Justin Smith, is accused of sending and receiving 'hundreds of video of child pornography', according to the New York Attorney's Office.

The Southern District of New York claims Smith, 43, used Telegram to exchange the videos with another person, whose phone was seized by the FBI.

Prosecutors used the individual's Telegram account to chat with Smith.

Officials say the videos depicted children as young as infants, including a video of a 10-year-old being raped.

Federal authorities searched Smith's Manhattan apartment in April, with prosecutors saying they found an SD card containing hundreds of video of child porn.

US Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Justin Heath Smith received and distributed hundreds of recordings containing child pornography, including a ghastly video showing a young child bound, beaten, and raped.

"Our investigation into Smith is ongoing, and we urge anyone with information about Smith’s conduct to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Together with our law enforcement partners, we will relentlessly pursue those predators who victimize children and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”

Meanwhile, FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Smith added: “I want to make it clear: those who distribute child sexual abuse images prey upon the most vulnerable in our society. Each image is a crime scene, leaving lasting scars on innocent victims.

"The FBI is relentless in our pursuit of these perpetrators. We will track them down, arrest them, and ensure they face justice for the harm they cause.”
