HIV Positive Porn Star Who Had Sex With Limerick Boy, 14, Could Be Deemed A Predator

"I kinda like my guys young," Steele allegedly told the boy when they met.

LIMERICK, PA -- An adult film star convicted of having sex with a 14-year-old Limerick boy he met online could be classified as a predator, according to a report.

Christopher Steele, 35, had 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.

He 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.”

The hearing to determine Steele's predator status will occur before his sentencing, and has yet to be scheduled.
