A furry activist has pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges and faces up to life in prison after he kidnapped a woman and forced her to make pornographic content for the adult entertainment website, OnlyFans.
Authorities say that Austin Taylor Koeckeritz, 29, of River Falls, Wisconsin held his victim captive and forced her to film erotic content. He reportedly wore a black and blue wolf-shaped furry suit and functioned like a pimp, and forced his victim to wear a black and white wolf-shaped furry suit, according to Reduxx.
In addition to holding the woman captive, Koeckeritz also sexually exploited a minor girl on similar allegations. He now faces life in prison after initially being arrested in 2022.
Authorities were alerted to the sex trafficking scheme when the adult victim was able to alert her sister and a friend to the situation. They then went to the police, who reacted by raiding the home.
Koeckeritz and the adult victim first met as business partners and founded a company called The Boring Company. That company was described as an advocacy and resource group for furries, but Koeckeritz turned it into a sex trafficking scheme where he forced the victim to create pornographic content for OnlyFans and other sexually explicit subscription-based websites, the outlet reports.
The victim told detectives that Koeckeritz held her captive in a room and forced her to make daily erotic videos. He cut off all communication with the victim's friends and family and kept all of the earnings to himself, according to prosecutors.
Court documents state that Koeckeritz forced the victim to recruit other young victims from a nearby college in order to get time off from performing sex acts. He even made the victim create content even when she was ill. Koeckeritz forced the victim to create $1,000 worth of daily erotic content at a minimum. He also reportedly chased her around the home with an AR-15 and doused her in hot cooking grease.
The minor victim, a female family member who was between the ages of 14 and 15 at the time, was forced into the furry sex trade by Koeckeritz, the outlet reports. He allegedly showed her sexually explicit content and encouraged her to enter the sex trade.
Reduxx revealed that Koeckeritz is also a transgender rights activist and has discussed male-sex interests on social media, in addition to female. He wrote multiple poems about male love interests and revealed himself as gay in them.

The US Department of Justice released a statement on Nov. 28 that Koeckertiz pleaded guilty to one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and another count of trafficking of a minor.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke wrote in the statement: "Sex trafficking continues to be prevalent because traffickers see the profits they can make from exploiting the vulnerable victims they target."
"This type of abuse — particularly of minors — will not be tolerated. The Justice Department remains committed to prosecuting human trafficking offenses and standing up for the victims exploited by these abusers," she added.
Koeckertiz used social media websites to publish furry-based content, and according to the outlet, the two victims appear to be in multiple videos on his TikTok and Instagram accounts. While new content has not appeared on his social media accounts since his arrest, they remain active. He has more than 160,000 followers on TikTok and more than 13,000 followers on Instagram, according to the outlet. The pornographic content was not published to these accounts.
