Defendant’s Victims Included Toddlers
Earlier today, John Wolf, a former Manhattan dentist, was
sentenced in federal court in Brooklyn to 121 months’ imprisonment by United
States District Judge William F. Kuntz II for conspiring to distribute
methamphetamine and possessing child pornography. As part of his sentence, Wolf must serve 10
years’ supervised release following his imprisonment and not have unsupervised
contact with minors. Wolf will also be
required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York, William F. Sweeney, Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), and Ray Donovan,
Special Agent-in-Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, New York (DEA),
announced the sentence.
“Wolf was once a successful dentist who now finds himself
deservedly confined behind prison walls for conspiring to distribute dangerous
drugs and sharing images of children being subjected to sexual violence,”
stated United States Attorney Donoghue.
“Today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of the defendant’s crimes and
demonstrates the commitment of the Department of Justice to protecting the
community.” Mr. Donoghue expressed his
grateful appreciation to the FBI’s New York Violent Crimes Against Children
International Task Force for leading the investigation.
Wolf pleaded guilty in October 2017 to conspiracy to possess
with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of child pornography. During the investigation, the defendant was
consensually recorded discussing distribution of methamphetamine and provided
child pornography to a person who, unbeknownst to him, was an undercover FBI
agent. The child pornography included
depictions of toddlers being raped by adult men.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s
Organized Crime and Gangs Section.
Assistant United States Attorney Moira Kim Penza is in charge of the
prosecution.
