Police in Austin, Texas, had earlier reported that Wilson's last known location was Taipei.

Police Cmdr. Troy Officer said Wednesday that before Wilson flew to Taiwan, a friend of the 16-year-old girl had told him that police were investigating the accusation that he had sex with the youth.

Wilson is identified as the owner of Austin-based Defense Distributed.
