3-D Printed Gun Promoter, Cody Wilson, Is Charged With Sexual Assault of Child

Online 3D gun purveyor Cody Wilson

9/19/18
Cody Wilson, whose push to post blueprints for 3-D printed guns online has made him a key figure in the national gun control debate, was charged on Wednesday with sexually assaulting a child in Texas. But law enforcement officers said they were having trouble finding Mr. Wilson, who missed a flight back to the United States from Taipei, Taiwan, his last known location. During a news conference on Wednesday, Cmdr. Troy Officer of the Austin Police Department said that a warrant had been filed for Mr. Wilson’s arrest and that local detectives were working with national and international partners to find him. Mr. Wilson, 30, is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl at a hotel in Austin on Aug. 15 and paying her $500 in cash, according to an affidavit filed in Travis County. The girl told the police that she had met Mr. Wilson through the website SugarDaddyMeet.com, where he was using the screen name “Sanjuro,” the affidavit says.

She and Mr. Wilson, who identified himself to the girl, exchanged phone numbers and then continued messaging each other, sharing at least one explicit photo apiece, according to the affidavit. During one conversation, Mr. Wilson described himself as a “big deal,” the affidavit says. According to the affidavit, Mr. Wilson and the girl met in the parking lot of an Austin coffee shop that evening and left for the hotel in a black Ford Edge sport utility vehicle registered to Mr. Wilson’s company, Defense Distributed. The police were notified of the alleged assault after the girl told a counselor, and they confirmed the details using surveillance video and interviews. Mr. Wilson’s national prominence grew this year when he announced plans to upload blueprints for 3-D printed guns onto Defense Distributed’s website at the beginning of August. He was blocked from doing so as a result of a lawsuit filed by attorneys general from 19 states and Washington, D.C. Mr. Wilson, a self-described crypto-anarchist, has said more recently that instead of posting free blueprints online, he will mail flash drives loaded with the files to buyers in exchange for whatever they want to pay.

It seems that Mr. Wilson is on the run from LE. He apparently fled to Taiwan before arrest. There is no extradition treaty in force between Taiwan and the United States.

If this doesn't smell of a setup, I don't know what does.

I'm saying this without knowing all the particulars, only that $500 was paid to a 16 yr old and a hotel camera had them on tape entering and leaving.

Not quite sexual assault,(regardless of legal definition) more sounding like statutory rape, which if money was exchanged, and consent by both parties given, isn't the demonic act it is being advertised as.

He had sex with a 16 year old minor. There is a sexual assault warrant out for his arrest.

Probably another warrant will also be drawn up. Unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
 
Makes me wonder how a guy that's stupid enough to pay a 16 yo for sex, Is also smart enough to design a 3-d printed gun.

Yeah, I got that. Again, money was exchanged, and there is no such thing as coincidence.

Smells like a set up.

Not saying the fool wasn't weak enough to fall for it, but I didn't see where it said he was aware of her age.

He went to Taiwan, which has lax enforcement of child prostitution laws.

Is that a coincidence or is there no such thing?

It won't be the first time you've fallen for the make believe, I'm sure.

I think it's more a case that there is no extradition treaty in force between Taiwan and the United States, but you know, whatever you want to believe...

Given that a criminal finding out about an arrest warrant enough before hand and fleeing the country in time is next to impossible short of a blackmarket means of ait transport, he likely knew a warrant was going to be made against him and fled before they could finish the process, as having warrants can halt air travel as well as other travel outside the country like by sea.

She met him while posing as a 19 year old on a website called “SugarDaddyMeet.com.” Not sure why she hasn’t been charged with prostitution.

I’ve read elsewhere that he was tipped off that she was talking to police by one of her friends.

Ah, so then coincidences are a thing. Except of course if a right wing white nationalist gets caught trying to bag himself some underage prostitution.

Funky outlook on life, bro.

Cody Wilson also created the crowdfunding site Hatreon. It was utilized to collect donations for Nazi groups and the Alt-right.

Andrew Anglin, the neo-Nazi founder of the Daily Stormer, was pulling in $8,000 a month from Hatreon and white supremacist Richard Spencer was pulling in $1,000 per month.

So in all likelyhood a blackmail attempt that he did not go for. Now he has to leave the US or go to jail

LOL, where does it say he knew she was 16, I admitted I didn't know all the particulars. If it says that, then, that's a different story.

Ignorance is potential, but he was paying for sex which I expect was illegal to begin with. They might take into account she said she was 19, but add two crimes together, and you get a sex offender

She would have had to be 18 to be a sex worker? That's the age where I live.

Cody Wilson, 3D-printed gun company owner accused of sex with girl, is arrested in Taiwan

9/21/18
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The owner of a Texas company that sells blueprints to make untraceable 3-D printed guns has been arrested in Taiwan, CBS News confirmed. Cody Wilson has been accused of having sex with an underage girl and paying her $500 afterward in Texas. Taiwan's National Immigration Agency and Criminal Investigation Bureau confirmed to CBS News Friday that Wilson was arrested. The bureau confirmed earlier that Wilson was in Taiwan after arriving on the island earlier this month. The bureau also said Wilson's passport has been nullified, which means he's staying in Taiwan illegally, CBS News has confirmed. Taiwan's Central News Agency said the island's immigration department would make arrangements for Wilson to return to the U.S. as soon as possible.

His junket to Taiwan to avoid arrest didn't quite pan out. I imagine he'll be returned to the US asap without bond because he is a proven flight risk.

I expect the girl, met him, found out he has a good amount of money and tried to blackmail him when the blackmail failed. Probably something she has done in the past with other men she has met on that website.
 
He was in Taiwan on business he said, and he has already been arrested their and is in the process of being sent back to the states.
As for the girl, she is 16 but they met on suggardaddy .com website that is only for 18+ and her profile said she was 19. Meeting the girl and having sex with her under the impression she was older. Giving her money after their exchange is customary for such a website.

Your morals be dammed, he thought what he was doing was within the law until he found out later that he had been defrauded. This smells of some FBI sting.
