3D Gun Creator Wanted on Child Sex Charges Deported From Taiwan

After Taiwan authorities arrested him Friday.

3D gun creator Cody Wilson has been deported from Taiwan and is heading back to the U.S. to face child sexual-assault charges. Wilson, 30, is accused of paying a 16-year-old girl for sex in Texas, and police had announced a warrant for his arrest on Wednesday but said he had apparently delayed his return from Taiwan to avoid charges. He was escorted to Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport late Friday by National Immigration Agency agents and scheduled to be put on a plane for Houston, according to local media reports. He was reportedly spotted in the airport wearing sunglasses and a surgical mask, with his hood pulled up over his head. His deportation came hours after he was arrested at a Taipei hotel by Taiwan police. He was reportedly arrested for lacking valid travel documents after his passport was canceled.
