South Station fondling leads to man's arrest for transporting a minor across state lines for sex

A security guard at the South Station bus terminal who spotted a man and a teen boy engaged in some possible inappropriate behavior under a blanket last August sparked an investigation that led to the man's federal indictment this week.

A federal grand jury in Boston indicted Jason Michael Wolf, 30, of Washington, DC on a charge of transporting a minor in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity. He was already in the custody at the Suffolk County jail following his arrest on a charge of aggravated statutory rape at South Station on Aug. 17.

In an affidavit, a postal inspector involved in the case said that Wolf and the Maryland teen, at the time 14 and listed as a runaway, hooked up via an online gay dating site, started having sex, then traveled by bus up to Boston, where they had more sex in an unspecified Boston home.

They were at South Station to catch a bus to Connecticut, according to the affidavit:

On August 17, 2015, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Police received a request for assistance from a security guard at the South Station Bus Terminal in Boston, MA. The security guard reported observing suspicious activity between an adult male and a minor male including holding hands and touching either other under a blanket while inside the bus terminal.

If convicted, Wolf faces a minimum mandatory term of 10 years - with a possible maximum of life - lifetime probation and a fine of up to $250,000, the US Attorney's office reports.

Innocent, etc.

Are they as easy to find as predators offering adventure, food, shelter, sex, drugs, and alcohol on hornet, kik, grindr etc.?

Interesting that taking the teen from his home state is evidence enough to charge Wolf with interstate pimping. It will likely lead to being pimped out, but not clear it happened yet.

Actually, the fact that a kid that age was taken across state lines for even personal sexual interaction amounts to "interstate pimping".

That said, there are reasons these kids are particularly vulnerable - their parents throw them out because they are gay. That is, of course, illegal until they are 18, but it doesn't stop it from happening. Some places are setting up special shelters for such kids, and sometimes other adults in their life step up (and can sue their parents for support), but all too often the throwaways and escapees from "correction therapy" end up homeless and forced into sex work.

You will learn that a missing persons report had been filed for the teen. So all your verbiage about throwaway teens does not seem to apply here unless it was a shelter he ran away from. Its possible the boy was living with parents, was wooed by Wolf, and ran off with him. Even Rosie O'Donnell's minor daughter ran off with a guy (from Jersey, no less).

or one parent kicked him out, or became abusive and the kid hit the bricks, and the other parent reported him missing...

couldve gone down a hundred ways, I don't think you have any ground to be calling out people for being wrong

The south station bus terminal is a haven for pimps and predators who stalk young runaways from all over the Northeast. After midnight the terminal is a nightmare. The unarmed security guards do the best they can but there needs to be a bigger police presence.
