Cody Wilson, the face of 3D printed guns, was just charged with sexual assault of a child

sudshr47 September 19, 2018

The face of the battle over 3D printed guns has some new legal trouble on his hands: the alleged sexual assault of a child.

Cody Wilson, the 31-year-old 3D printed firearm activist, was just charged Wednesday with the sexual assault of a minor that he met on SugarDaddyMeet.com in Austin, Texas. The underage girl recounted the encounter in an interview with Center for Child Protection counselors. While her exact age isn’t mentioned in the affidavit, the arrest warrant does say the victim is under the age of 17.

The blueprint files to print your own 3D gun are now being sold — despite a ban issued by a federal judge.

Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed, a group that distributes the files necessary to print your own “wiki weapons,” held a press conference on Tuesday announcing the release of the 3D firearm blueprints.

This comes one day after a federal judge in Seattle extended a temporary ban placed on the 3D gun files just before they were to be released online last month. That ban, handed down in July, was issued after attorneys general from Washington and several other states jointly filed a last minute lawsuit against the Trump administration in order to stop the 3D gun files release. The federal judge on Monday granted a motion to extend that ban until that case is resolved. The issue came to public attention after the State Department reached a settlement with Defense Distributed in June, paving the way for the group to release the files online. Read more…

Hot on the heels of the effective legalization of 3D models used to print firearm components, 21 states have filed a joint lawsuit against the federal government, alleging not only that decision is dangerous but also that it’s also illegal for a number of reasons.
