Creator Of 3D-Printed Gun Resigns From His Company After Sexual Assault Arrest
Cody Wilson left Defense Distributed in the wake of charges involving a 16-year-old girl and SugarDaddyMeet.com.
By Andy Campbell
Cody Wilson capped off a weeklong journey through the criminal justice system ― in which he was charged with sexual assault, arrested in Taiwan and jailed in the U.S. ― by leaving his company, where he created what’s been called the world’s first 3D-printed gun.
VICE News first reported that the 30-year-old Texan will no longer sit at the helm of Defense Distributed, which has essentially cornered the 3D-printed gun market while drawing the ire of U.S. authorities for posting the blueprints online.
“Cody Wilson tendered his resignation Friday evening to focus on personal legal affairs,” said Paloma Heindorff, the company’s former chief of operations, who will take the reins in place of Wilson. “Defense Distributed’s board of directors accepted his resignation, and thus his role at the company has been concluded.”
On Sept. 19, Austin, Texas, police charged Wilson with sexual assault of a minor, after he allegedly paid $500 to a 16-year-old girl he met on SugarDaddyMeet.com to have sex with him at a local hotel. With that announcement, police also threw in the revelation that Wilson had jetted to Taipei prior to formal charges.
