3D-Printed Gun Advocate Cody Wilson Charged With Child Sexual Assault

The Defense Distributed founder texted the girl photos of his penis and described himself as a "big deal," according to an arrest affidavit.
By Ryan Grenoble, HuffPost US

Cody Wilson, a staunch advocate for developing and releasing plans for 3D- printed guns on the internet via his organization Defense Distributed, has
been charged with sexually assaulting a child.

According to an arrest affidavit filed in Travis County District Court on Wednesday, Wilson, 30, is accused of paying a juvenile female “under the
age of 17” $500 to have sex with him at a hotel in Austin, Texas, on Aug.
15, a second-degree felony.

Austin police say Wilson initially met the girl on the website SugarDaddyMeet.com where he operated under the alias “Sanjuro.” Wilson identified himself by name and arranged to meet for sex in subsequent conversation, according to a police search of the girl’s phone authorized
by her parents.

In separate texts reviewed by police officers, Wilson sent the girl photos
of his penis and described himself as “a big deal,” presumably referring to
his efforts at Defense Distributed, the 3D-printing gun manufacturer he founded.

Cody Wilson poses with a 3D-printed gun in his factory in Austin, Texas, on Aug. 1, 2018. Austin authorities charged Wilson with sexually assaulting a child on Wednesday.
Surveillance video obtained by the Austin Police Department corroborates
the girl’s story and shows Wilson and the girl enter the hotel lobby and
walk toward the guest rooms at 8:37 p.m. on Aug. 15, then leave roughly 40 minutes later at 9:19 p.m.

As of Wednesday morning, Wilson did not appear to have surrendered to authorities, Travis County records show. A county magistrate has ordered he surrender his passport and be held on $150,000 bail.

Austin Police Commander Troy Officer told reporters Wednesday afternoon
that Wilson failed to appear for a flight home after being tipped off about
the investigation by a friend of the victim. His last known whereabouts are Taipei, Taiwan.

“We don’t know why he went to the Taiwan,” Officer said, “but we do know
that he was informed that he was being investigated.”

Taiwan does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

Defense Distributed did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday, nor
did SugarDaddyMeet.

Wilson, a self-described “crypto-anarchist,” attempted to distribute free
plans to 3D-print plastic firearms on the internet, touting its efforts as heralding the “age of the downloadable gun.” After a federal judge blocked Defense Distributed from sharing the plans for free, Wilson attempted to circumvent the ruling by “selling” the blueprints for a nominal fee
instead.

In subsequent filings, Defense Distributed and a second gun-rights group
called the Second Amendment Foundation argued their ability to share
schematics for printing firearms constitutes free speech that’s protected
under the First Amendment.

This story has been updated with comments from Officer.
