Ex-MTV Star Connor Smith
Out Of The Clink
… After Creeping on Teenager!!!
Published
Former MTV star Connor Smith — who appeared on “Are You the One?” in 2015 — has been released from the clink after serving time for trying to get together with an underage girl.
Illinois state sources tell TMZ … Smith is out on parole as of Friday after serving less than 8 months at Taylorville Correctional Center. He’s now a registered sex offender … so he’s got 72 hours to check in with police to formally update his whereabouts.
Remember … the one-time reality star was picked up by authorities in Florida in March 2024 — ending a year-long manhunt initiated by the state of Illinois. Authorities accused him of sending sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl … but who was actually an adult undercover cop.
The pair even made plans to get naughty with each other — but when Smith pulled up to the designated meeting spot, he was met by police … and he took off.
He was accused of traveling to meet a minor, and grooming and disseminating harmful material — and found himself behind bars in November 2024.
This is not Smith’s first brush with the law relating to contact with an underage girl — he was arrested in 2021 for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl in Indiana.
However, the charges were dropped in September 2022 when that alleged victim stopped cooperating in the investigation.
