AUSTIN, Texas—On Wednesday morning, a county judge signed the arrest warrant for Cody Wilson, who is accused of sexually assaulting an unnamed underage girl.

Upon Wilson’s arrest, Travis County Magistrate Judge Tamara Needles also ordered that police take photographs of the inside of Wilson’s “upper legs,” presumably as a way that he can be identified by the victim. Wilson apparently has a “uniquely identifiable skin condition” according to court documents.

In a five-page affidavit obtained by Ars, Austin Police Department (APD) detective Shaun Donovan outlines what allegedly took place between Wilson and the unnamed victim. The Defense Distributed founder initially met with the girl on August 15 at Bennu Coffee on 515 South Congress Ave.
