EXCLUSIVE
A dating app predator who boasted of having sex with 14-year-old girls in a book tendered in court and abused women who turned him down has set his sights on moving to the United States after his behaviour was outed by Daily Mail Australia.
Anton Smolin, 43, first made headlines in November 2023 after four women came forward to reveal how he had bombarded them with horrific messages when they rejected his advances.
Smolin was subsequently sacked from his high-flying associate director role at a Sydney engineering consulting company before launching a defamation case against Daily Mail Australia.
However, the court case spectacularly backfired when it was revealed Smolin had authored a misogynistic sex guidebook called Seduction Chronicles of a Psychopath in which he described sordid acts he had committed against women.
Smolin was ordered to pay Daily Mail Australia’s court fees, and the material in his book was so disturbing that a copy was handed over to police to investigate whether it contains admissions of the 43-year-old committing serious indictable offences.
Now Daily Mail Australia can reveal Smolin is back to his old tricks on dating apps – lying about his age while trying to pick up ‘sugar babies’ around Brisbane, where he relocated shortly after losing his job.

Rebecca* recently matched with Smolin on a ‘sugar daddy’ website, where he described himself as ‘wealthy, intelligent, confident, tall and handsome’.
On his profile, he also shaved 13 years of his age (listing himself as 30) and claimed he has a ‘great sense of humour’ and ‘highly developed conversational skills’.
During their conversation, Smolin – who went by the username ‘-A-‘, told Rebecca that he is moving to downtown Los Angeles to take up a contract position for a minimum of 12 months.
The pair had set up a date, however, after learning about his history with women via a Google search, Rebecca immediately blocked him and reported his profile.
The website, sugarbabymeet.com, has since removed Smolin’s account.
The revelation comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed in September that Smolin had been charged with harassing 20-year-old student Emma*, who he had met on the same website.
When Emma told Smolin she did not want to have sex with him, he told her she should kill herself, then advised her how to do it successfully.
Smolin called the woman – who he knew was mentally fragile – a ‘fat ugly pig’, a ‘piece of trash’ and a ‘worthless piece of s***’, before suggesting various suicide methods.
Emma reported the incident to police and Smolin was found guilty in January this year at Downing Centre Local Court of using a mobile phone to menace, harass, or offend.
He sought to have that verdict annulled at the same court in March but after abandoning that application was convicted and put on a $500 two-year good behaviour bond.
Smolin has continued to try and connect with women online using a ‘sugar daddy’ account online. His profile (above) has since been suspended by the site after being reported by other users
Emma was just one of several women Smolin tormented throughout 2023.
During that time, Smolin made a habit of erupting with rage when women he met on dating app Hinge politely cancelled their dates.
One woman was called a ‘stupid fat pig’, another was labelled a ‘lying b***h’, while a third was slammed as ‘inconsiderate’ for trying to reschedule their plans as she was grieving the death of a friend.
A fourth woman claimed he abruptly cancelled their date hours before they were scheduled to meet after he learned she did not intend to drink alcohol.
Concerningly, Smolin highlighted in his grubby self-help book – which was tendered in a court hearing and previously sold on Amazon – how he utilised alcohol as part of his pick up strategy.
In the book’s blurb, Smolin calls himself a psychopath ‘with almost no empathy or moral and ethical standards of any kind’ seeking to help other men with the art of seduction.
In one instance, he recalled how he and a friend’s gangbang chances with an intoxicated woman would ‘drop to almost 0’ unless they got her to a hotel straight away so she wouldn’t ‘sober up’.
The book, published in June 2014, also detailed his encounters with minors (as he advocated for the age of consent to be lowered to 14), and described a situation where he ‘weighed up the pros and cons of raping the completely wasted hoe’.

‘I have been a player for more than 10 years now. Things started out really slowly for me as I struggled to learn the art of seduction,’ Smolin said in a press release for the book.
‘For a long time I was a geeky nerd and a chronic masturbator. However, over time, my seduction skills, confidence and field strategies improved dramatically.
‘I now live in a world of multiple girlfriends, threesomes, group sex and international pimping.
‘I keep a detailed register of all my sexual conquests in a sophisticated Excel spreadsheet that I use to plot complex charts and conduct strategic data analysis.
‘The key to success is determination. I succeeded not overwhelmingly because of charm, good looks, skill or charisma; the key factors for my success are determination and hard work.
‘Most people can’t be bothered and that is why they usually fail; well… I can be bothered and that is why I am now well into the triple digits.’
