Cody Wilson, an Austin man whose fight over 3D-printed guns thrust him into the national spotlight, faces a charge of sexual assault, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Travis County district court on Wednesday. [More]Without conceding that anything happened as described, absent from this is any information that he had reason to believe she was underage. This smells like a premeditated set-up to destroy the man and discredit supporters of his idea.
I have no idea what the SugarDaddyMeet website requires to open an account (and I'm not going to go there to find out), but I'd be surprised if they don't have some sort of requirement to state you are of age before allowing an account to be opened. [SEE UPDATE] It's also telling that he will now be ruthlessly attacked and Alinsky Rule 5-ridiculed by the same people out there calling you a hater if you don't embrace "Love is Love."
Naturally, the questions I'm most interested in aren't addressed in the "news" account: Did someone arrange for the girl to set Wilson up? Who? And what criminal liability would they share?
I'd also like to know who she is so her social media posts could be checked to determine affiliations. This business of destroying his reputation while protecting the identity and sympathies of the accuser trying to do it smacks of "progressive justice."

UPDATE:
Wilson missed a scheduled flight back to the United States and is thought to have left the country after a friend of the 16-year-old sexual assault victim told him that police were investigating him, Officer said.That certainly makes things problematic for him. And this makes things problematic for the "authorities":
There is no extradition treaty in force between Taiwan and the United States.UPDATE: Here's the affadavit.
I decided to check. If you enter an age lower than 18, it immediately returns an error: "Age" must be between 18 and 99.
ReplyDeleteSet up.
At this point, I haven't yet ruled out an anonymous third party using Cody Wilson's name to set up an account, without the man's knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI mean, what kind of "identity verification" does a site like this ask for? Not much, if they want to claim any kind of anonymity.
Also, this business of not naming an accuser is precisely what is happening with Judge Kavanaugh: his "accuser" wanted to remain anonymous and out of the public eye, and the Democrats were all about keeping her identity secret, but that's just not how the American justice system works.
When an anonymous accusation from an unknown source -- and in Kavanaugh's case, also lacking any supporting evidence, inconsistent with prior statements, and WELL past the statute of limitations -- is enough to ruin reputations, cost future job opportunities, and destroy Constitutional processes and protections, then our Republic has truly entered dark times.
AFAIK, accepting money for sex is called prostitution. But now here is a situation where there was consensual agreement so it cannot be "sexual assault".
ReplyDeleteMethinks this was a setup by the Left because of his gun plans and you know how they get their panties in a wad over that.
Money may have been a gift
ReplyDeleteExcept minors cannot legally consent to sex. Also, I don't know what Texas law says, but In Florida, you cannot use the fact that a woman told you that she is over 18 as a defense to sexual molestation charges. Even if she produced identification that said she is of age.
