Adult film star Austin Wolf has been arrested in New York City for child abuse materials, according to the Justice Department.
Wolf, real name Justin Heath Smith, is charged with sending and receiving hundreds of videos of child pornography via the Telegram application between March 24 and March 28.
The porn star, 43, allegedly sent and received images that ‘depicted children as young as infants, including a video showing a 10-year-old child bound and raped.’
He is also accused of possessing hundreds of additional videos containing child pornography in his Manhattan apartment.
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.
‘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.’
Wolf is scheduled to be arraigned in Manhattan court on Friday.

He faces one charge of distribution and receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
The actor faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of the charges.
Investigators say they caught Wolf after they seized the phone of the person he had allegedly been exchanging child phonography with.
An undercover FBI agent then contacted Wolf’s alleged anonymous Instagram account.
