According to the affidavit, Wilson met the girl through the website SugarDaddy­Meet.com. The girl said she met Wilson in the parking lot of an Austin coffee shop before they drove to the hotel, where Wilson had sex with her and afterward gave her $500 in cash.

Hotel records revealed that Wilson registered the same room in which that the girl reported he had sex with her, the detective wrote.
