Former MTV star Connor Smith finally arrested after year-long manhunt for allegedly trying to meet underage girl

Former MTV star Connor Smith, who appeared in “Are You The One?” in 2015, was arrested in Florida following a year-long manhunt.

Smith was brought into custody on Thursday over a year after police in Illinois first issued an arrest warrant for the 33-year-old, according to TMZ.

The former reality star went on the run after allegedly being caught interacting with an undercover officer who was posing as a minor for “several weeks” online.

At the time, Illinois police claimed Smith had sent explicit videos and images of himself to the officer, thinking they were a 15-year-old girl.

Smith allegedly planned a meet-up with the minor to engage in sexual acts. When he tried to carry out his alleged plan in February 2023, the reality TV star was greeted by detectives.

Smith, however, was able to escape and fled in his vehicle.

At the time, Smith faced three felonies: traveling to meet a minor, grooming, and disseminating harmful material. It’s unclear if there will be any more tacked on.

In 2021, the MTV alum was also arrested for allegedly raping and assaulting a 16-year-old girl in Indiana.

Smith allegedly met the young girl on a dating app before she snuck out to meet him one night.

However, the victim said she “immediately had a bad feeling” about their meet-up after coming face to face with Smith.
