3D Gun Advocate Accused Of Sex With Minor Released From Houston Jail

 

HOUSTON (AP) – Authorities say the owner of a Texas company that sells plans to make untraceable 3-D printed guns is back in the U.S. after being arrested in Taiwan.

The U.S. Marshals Service says 30-year-old Cody Wilson was booked into Harris County Jail in Houston early Sunday. He was released Monday morning on $150,000 bond.

Wilson is accused of having sex with an underage girl and paying her $500 afterward. He was arrested Friday in Taiwan. Police say he flew there after a friend of the 16-year-old girl told him that the police were investigating the accusation that he had sex with the girl.

Wilson owns Austin-based Defense Distributed, which was selling designs to make 3D-printable guns.
