Cody Wilson, the 3-D plastic gun huckster who thinks checking a gun owners’ background shouldn’t be necessary, didn’t bother to check his arranged ‘date’s’ ID to see if she was underage. He must have suspected she was underage.

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.
The affidavit said a counselor called Austin police on Aug. 22 to report that a girl under the age of 17 told her she had sex with a 30-year-old man on Aug. 15 and was paid $500.
The pair messaged online, then began exchanging text messages.
“During this conversation, ‘Sanjuro’ identified himself as ‘Cody Wilson.’ Victim said that ‘Sanjuro’ described himself to the victim as a ‘big deal,’ ” the affidavit said.
According to the document, Wilson sent the girl images of his penis, and she sent him nude photos of herself.
Detectives used surveillance footage to corroborate the girl’s story, along with hotel records that showed Wilson rented a room at the hotel, the affidavit said.
The girl told police she and Wilson had sex at the hotel and that he paid her $500.
If convicted Wilson faces 2 to 20 years in prison, and of course Willison won’t be able to own firearms ever again.
