3-D gun advocate accused of sex with minor is jailed in U.S.

Source: NBC

AUSTIN, Texas — The owner of a Texas company that sells plans to make untraceable 3-D printed guns was back in the U.S. Sunday after being arrested in Taiwan, where police say he flew after learning he was being investigated for allegedly having sex with an underage girl.

The U.S. Marshals Service said Cody Wilson, 30, was booked into Harris County Jail in Houston early Sunday on on $150,000 bond. He was bonded out later Sunday, according to NBC affiliate KPRC in Houston

He was arrested Friday at a hotel in Taiwan by local police. He is facing sexual assault charges in Austin, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals service.

Authorities said Wilson met the girl through the website SugarDaddyMeet.com. According to an affidavit, the girl said they met in the parking lot of an Austin coffee shop in August and then drove to a hotel. The girl told investigators that Wilson paid her $500 after they had sex and then dropped her off at a Whataburger restaurant.

Sugardaddymeet.com just saw their web traffic jump exponentially, if nothing else’s but curious to see what a site like that looks like.

If I want to go to some really offbeat web site, there's always free republic or jackpine radicals.

A website that appears dedicated to helping superficial and narcissistic women and men finding other superficial and narcissistic men or women to pay for a lifestyle they can’t afford in exchange for sex and their dignity.

Never been to a prostitute but $500 seems high or at least more than I would ever even consider.
Which is why a website like that is not for me 😂
