Has anyone clarified what Cody Wilson did, specifically?

I can't tell from the stories I've seen whether A) she willingly had sex with him and then her parents found out and went to the police because she's underage, or B) he straight-up raped her.

Not that paying an underage girl to have sex with you is OK either, but option B is a lot worse than A in my book.

The victim was an underage prostitute from what I can gather, so likely she's a victim of trafficking so it's probably a lot worse than either of those.

The most charitable thing that could have possibly happened is an underage girl faked her age to sign up for an escort website and then Cody hired her, and she presented herself and seemed of age.

Which would require him being duped by a child and would make him a statutory rapist.

This is the best possible scenario for him.

I think if he gets caught and they offer to extradite its going to look very bad if Trump and the court say "Nah keep this person charged with sexual assault of a minor who fled to escape the charges". I imagine they would be better off allowing the extradition and then loving with the case while he is here.

Also Taiwan will likely snag him up when visa issue occurs.

Edit: that being said Im sure they will pick the dumbest possible option

Maybe I'm missing something, but why would Taiwan even consider fighting to keep this guy?

Like, I get that there's no official extradition treaty, but the only time that really causes a problem is when the countries aren't on good terms and/or the person is a citizen of the country and thus has a right to stay.

Am I missing something?

Yeah, there's been some center flag matches at a CQB arena that's now closed (there's a red and blue flag in the center of the arena and you need to have your flag raised when the match ends) where I would just make a suicide run in the last seconds to try and yank the enemy flag down right as the timer buzzed.

I play a yearly Fallout-themed airsoft match that recently introduced Psycho as a player item. When you use it, you have invincibility as long as you can maintain one long scream or battle cry. Once you run out of breath, you drop dead on the spot. The intention is that you'll just run screaming at everyone trying to shoot you and shoot them at close range or beat them with boffer weapons while taking dozens of BBs.

I'm enjoying the idea of there being two people still in the game and one of them uses it to attack, and the other uses it in response, and they're both just calmly standing in the middle of a field screaming themselves purple waiting for the other to die, like an insane staring contest.

The effects of a psycho downer are no different from the effect of your average airsoft player doing a sprint.

It was all over the news for a bit, and now he's "gun rights activist" instead of "Hatreon founder," but so far the trial has only amounted to "You can't distribute those plans internationally with a website, you have to do it by mail order instead" I think?
