AUSTIN, TEXAS—The founder of a Texas company that sells blueprints for making untraceable 3-D printed guns has resigned from the firm after being arrested on charges of having sex with a 16-year-old girl, the company announced Tuesday. Cody Wilson tendered his resignation to his own company Friday evening to tend to “personal matters,” said Paloma Heindorff, director of development for Austin-based Defence Distributed. Heindroff said she would be taking over Wilson’s duties as director of the company.
