Cody Wilson then appeared before Brad Urrutia, a state District Judge. He was wearing a grey suit that day and took two of his lawyers with him. The judge asked for an investigation report. With that report, the judge will move towards making a decision.

According to the arrest affidavit, Cody Wilson met the girl in the parking place of a coffee shop. Then, he took her to the hotel and had sex with her. The teen girl said that Wilson paid her 500 dollars. F. Andino Reynal of Houston was the defence attorney of Wilson. He informed American Statesman previously that Wilson thought that the girl was a compliant adult.
Cody Wilson said this because the site, SugarDaddyMeet.com needs the users to indicate that they are at least 18 before they can sign up for making an account. The age of consent is 17 in Texas. Wilson was a student of a Texas university. He dropped out, and he then initiated his own company, Defense Distributed, where he gave online directions for the construction of plastic guns with a 3D printer.
August 2018
In August 2018, a judge ruled in favour of Washington, D.C and 19 other states. He abandoned the firm from posting the directions. He did it because all the information was accessible for free download. Then, the company initiated selling the instructions at the “name your own” cost. After his tour abroad, Cody Wilson arrested in Taiwan, Taipei. After his arrest, he resigned from Defense Distributed.
