Charged with paying a 16-year-old girl for sex at a hotel in Austin, Texas, Cody Wilson was bailed Sunday and is a free man again—at least for now. The BBC reports that Wilson, famous for promoting 3D-printed gun plans, was arrested by Taipei police and returned to the US over the weekend. KHOU 11 filmed him leaving jail and hopping into a cab.
Wilson's attorney Samy Khalil of Gerger, Khalil & Hennessy released a statement late Sunday evening.
"We are glad that Cody is back in Texas again where we can work with him on his case. That's our focus right now, representing our client and preparing his defense."
It's been a long journey back for the accused 3D-printed gun designer.
Authorities say the 30-year-old flew out to Taiwan after a friend told him he was being investigated for allegedly paying $500 for to have sex with a 16-year-old girl he contacted online.
Surveillance video shows Wilson checking in to a Taipei hotel Thursday. That's where police finally arrested him on Friday.
