AFP: A Texas man who has played a central role in the US debate over 3D-printed weapons and caused panic by publishing firearm blueprints online is wanted for having sex with a 16-year-old, police said Wednesday.
Cody Wilson — who is currently outside the United States-advocates 3D-printed weapons as a bulwark against gun control, but critics warn they give criminals access to untraceable firearms.”Detectives with the Austin Police Department Organized Crime Division filed a warrant for sexual assault for a Cody Rutledge Wilson, white male, 30 years of age,” Troy Officer, the commander of the division, told journalists.
The crime is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, he said.
The investigation began after a counselor to whom the victim had spoken notified police “that a juvenile female under the age of 17 had reported having sexual contact with a 30-year-old male.”
