Chelsea Dentist Sentenced To Prison For Child Porn And Meth

The former Chelsea dentist was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison.

CHELSEA, NY — A former Chelsea dentist was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing child porn and dealing meth, the Eastern District of New York announced Tuesday.

John Wolf, 63, pleaded guilty in October 2017 for possessing child porn and conspiring to deal meth.

The pervert dentist, who had an office on West 15th St., had more than 600 images and 200 videos of children in horrific scenes depicting bestiality and sexual abuse of a toddler, the Daily News reported.

The News reported that Wolf, who is HIV positive, had bragged about raping another man and punching holes in a condom before sex, though he denied those allegations.

“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,” U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Richard Donoghue, said in a statement.

“Today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of the defendant’s crimes and demonstrates the commitment of the Department of Justice to protecting the community," Donoghue said.

Wolf will be required to register as a sex offender when he's released from prison.
