Cody Wilson ― 3D-printed gun creator, neo-Nazi funder and sexual assault suspect ― jetted to Taiwan after finding out that police in Austin, Texas, were after him. He didn’t last there long.

He was arrested in Taipei on Friday, a BuzzFeed reporter on the scene confirmed, and local authorities plan to deport him to the U.S. to face a charge.

He made headlines Thursday when police announced that he had made a “suspicious” run for Taiwan, days before they filed a charge against him. He’s accused of paying $500 to a 16-year-old girl he met on SugarDaddyMeet.com to have sex with him. He was charged on Sept. 19 with sexual assault of a minor — a felony.

4. Wilson had signed a six-month lease for a studio

Wilson, 30, first checked in at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel on the capital‘s Dunhua North Road after a flight from the U.S. However, he left the following day by taxi for an unknown destination, reports said.

As it became known that Wilson was a wanted man in his native country, Taiwan police launched a search for his whereabouts. A real estate agent who saw the reports about the American on TV alerted the police to his recent visit to sign a six-month rental agreement for a studio, reports said.

Wilson had paid the first month’s rent of NT$19,000 (US$620) and a deposit of NT$18,000 on Thursday afternoon, but he failed to turn up at the agreed time around Friday noon to take possession of the keys for the apartment, possibly aware that he had become a wanted man in Taiwan as well.

He was arrested around 6 p.m. at a hotel on Wanhua’s Guangzhou Street, the Central News Agency reported.

Not even remotely a case of mistaken age. This is open and shut.
