Just to spare others from clicking the link to read mostly nothing but to see a large photo of the alleged perp (something I didn't need to see), the only news is that the prosecution and defense have agreed to another continuance because they are (presumably) still working on a plea deal.

Yes, the government's allegations are quite disturbing, including prepubescent victims.  Maybe the defense attorney is competent (I'm not a lawyer), but I didn't find his arguments compelling (nor did the judge, obviously).

I didn't find them compelling, either. However, I'm not sure how one could make a compelling argument against incarceration in this case. While I think the defense attorney went on way too long, I also think he did the best he could with what he has to work with.

Former reality TV star Josh Duggar was sentenced to 12+ years for downloading and possessing child pornography. He could have received 20 years.
In the case of Austin Wolf, the charges are not only possessing and downloading, but also soliciting minors for child porn. If the charges are proven, he should never see the light of day until he is eligible for Medicare. 

After reading those charges, one can only conclude the man is sick. Very sick. He should voluntarily submit to chemical castration when he is released from incarceration.

Does no-one bother to do even some quick Google research on this subject?!:) 

"Austin Wolf" has been charged in NY with two FEDERAL felony counts of possession and the far more serious charge of possession > hundreds of images and videos. some of which involve children under 12 being brutally raped which is MAJOR serious mitigating factor

New York has some of the most severe minimum prison sentencing guidelines in the entire USA for child pornography

There have now been 6+ continuances granted by various Judges so far since Wolf's arrest last June, as both sides continue ostensibly to discuss a possible plea deal > not surprising at all since the vast majority of Federal child pornography cases are settled out of Court

BUT > you can bet IF the current "plea deal" on the table was half-way decent, Wolf's lawyers would've recommended he take it! The Feds obviously have a rock-solid case against this scum-bag and aren't offering him an such sweet plea deal!

And if you review other similar cases in NY and across the USA for both distribution and possession, involving this same major volume of images and videos, with kids under 12 being brutalized, you'll find that that the best-case FEDERAL plea deals tend to fall in the 13-20+ year minimum sentence range > with 85% of sentence required to be served before parole eligibility

I would be shocked IF the BEST plea deal offered right now was anything much less than 15 years minimum best-case > also according to several child porn lawyer blogs I've researched > with parole eligibility in 13 years

Which is exactly why Austin Wolf and his lawyers haven't jumped at anything else > cuz the minute they reject the motion of continuance, his court appearance will take place, a trial date scheduled, and his prison sentence fate will be in the hands of an actual Judge who must follow the likely even more harsh minimum / maximum Federal sentencing guidelines!

This is all VERY sad and disappointing. But when I hear things like this I am less inclined than others to cry "scumbag" and more likely to ponder what abuse he must have suffered himself as a child. This kind of behavior is very often traced back to a repetition of childhood abuse. The abused becomes the abuser. Quite depressing to discover he monetized such awful examples of rape.

As you point out in your post, these are all federal charges. NY sentencing guidelines have nothing to do with this case.

WRONG.
Federal sentencing guidelines DO NOT vary from state to state. They are uniform throughout the country for federal crimes.
New York State guidelines are NOT applicable for federal charges. Period.

Bozo is correct. State sentencing is not relevant in any way for a federal charge. Federal sentencing guidelines do not in any way vary from state to state. Cardio is ill informed. 

Lord give me strength!: FEDERAL sentencing guidelines DO NOT vary from State to State > yup obviously! The POINT correctly being made here is that how those MINIMUM-MAXIMUM sentencing guidelines are actually decided upon by a Judge DOES vary depending on the specific STATE > Please do more factual research on this specific question > The broad Federal guidelines ARE the same BUT there is LATITUDE & DISCRETION for Judges in sentencing which can and does obviously vary from Judge to Judge AND from State by State

In 2 different posts you have totally contradicted yourself. It's like putting a chip on ODDS and another on EVENS. Can't lose, but you can't win either.

Today, the US Attorney's office and Wolf's lawyer both agreed for another 30-day continuance to try to work out a plea agreement. The sixth continuance since June.

Maybe the plan is to keep asking for continuances for the next 15 years, and then hope to get a sentence of 'time served'

OK > ONE final time for the HARD OF THINKING!:( Please really really really read this carefully and in a totally sober frame of mind > FEDERAL COURT maximum and minimum sentencing guidelines DO NOT vary from State to State > HOWEVER, FEDERAL Court judges in each separate State DO have latitude and discretion in applying those uniform maximum and minimum sentencing guideline ranges > AND GUESS WHAT CUPCAKE?? It turns out that in STATES which have the toughest STATE prison sentences for child porn crimes, FEDERAL COURT judges in those specific States with the toughest STATE penalties, actually DO tend use their LATITITUDE & DISCRETION to sentence criminals charged with felony child porn charges to the MAXIMUM higher range of those uniform FEDERAL sentencing guidelines! > LOL...is this really such a difficult point to grasp intellectually??:):)

Lol. Say one thing in one post, say the total opposite in another post, then try to make sense of it all with nonsensical word salad.

Also, show me the statistics from a neutral and reliable source to back up your statement:

"It turns out that in STATES which have the toughest STATE prison sentences for child porn crimes, FEDERAL COURT judges in those specific States with the toughest STATE penalties, actually DO tend use their LATITITUDE & DISCRETION to sentence criminals charged with felony child porn charges to the MAXIMUM higher range of those uniform FEDERAL sentencing guidelines!

I was molested, repeatedly. Not ONCE did I consider perpetuating that abuse on a minor, or looking at, possessing or distributing child porn.  I get people deal with things differently, but scumbag fits here.

You mean aggravating, not mitigating, which means quite the opposite.

I too was abused, and like you, have never considered perpetuating the same.  The idea is physically revolting.   And particularly for men who have been abused, part of the shame and fear can be linked to society's incorrect assumption that abused people go on to become abusers themselves.  While many abusers may have been abused in the past, I understand the vast majority of people who have been abused would never do the same to others.

Very sorry to hear that.

How old were you ?

 

The first time I was 8, repeatedly over and over. And then when I thought it was over. Again.  Then again at 36.

I think it is OK to explain, which is not the same that to justify or to excuse. But I agree with you.
