Cody was doing really important work, and should have been aware that his appropriately belligerent defense of the first and second amendment would bring extreme scrutiny from the government, and he needed to stay squeaky clean. Also, SugarDaddyMeet.com? really?

I do not know Cody and only have the details as presented in this article. If all is true, what is reported so far is:

Willing girl met Cody on line
Arraigned to met Cody in person
Traveled to a hotel
Was paid $500

I suspect that she did not represent herself as underage.
Consented to the sex and since she was paid, she is a prostitute. Sounds like a set up or accusation to avoid criminal prosecution.

I would point out that the age of consent in Texas is 17. Other than the exchange of money for sex, this may be legal.

During the Clinton years he would have just suddenly decided he was a white supremacist and committed suicide while surrounded by burning his whole “compound” down around himself.

Frame job? Setup? Railroad?

Despite the whole “you have to believe women about sex” thing, every man should know that women lie about their age, and underage women lie about their age to get sex, and alcohol.

And if you are a man who believes a woman, and it turns out the woman lied about her age, you are going to be prosecuted, because the entire system knows you are stupid if you believe women don’t lie.
