HIV Positive Adult Film Star Had Sex With 14-Year-Old Limerick Boy

"I kinda like my guys young," the man reportedly said.

LIMERICK, PA -- An adult film star has pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old Limerick boy he met online.

Christopher Steele, 35, also pleaded guilty to charges of reckless endangerment because he did not tell the boy he was HIV positive, according to court documents.

Steele, of Newark, Delaware, met the boy on the gay social networking site “jack’d” between May and October 2013.

Steele, who faces 11 to 22 years in prison, also known by his “performer” name of Mike Dozor, allegedly traveled from Delaware to Limerick to meet the boy, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

“I kinda like my guys young,” Steele allegedly told the boy when they met, according to the Times Herald.

Steele also received a visual depiction showing a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He had already been convicted of child exploitation in 2014.

The boy’s parents discovered the online communication and informed Limerick detectives in October of 2013.

“Child sexual exploitation crimes are among HSI’s highest priorities,” said John P. Kelleghan, special agent in charge of HSI Philadelphia, in a statement. “We will continue to relentlessly pursue predators who sexually abuse children, whether that abuse is physical in nature or if it’s accomplished by exploiting their images.”

Sentencing has been deferred until a later date.
