Christopher Fox’s bail was secured by assets owned by Julia as well as her father.
In the life of 33-year-old Italian model and actress Julia Fox, not everything is so rosy. Police arrested her father and brother last week after finding 3D printers to produce ghost weapons and drugs in their Manhattan apartment. This week, the celebrity managed to get her brother Christopher out of jail on Rikers Island by paying a $450,000 bail for him, which she posted with her father, Thomas Fox, according to the New York Post.
Christopher Fox, 33, is accused of using 3D printers to create weapon parts that prosecutors say could be assembled and sold as “ghost weapons” that cannot be traced. Fox Sr. was not charged with anything by the police.
According to media reports, Julia broke off relations with relatives a few years ago and practically did not communicate with him, but when her brother got into trouble, she could not stand aside. What happened to her was very upset, because “this is her brother.”
The bail slip signed by Julia and her father states that she is an “actress/model”.
Fox’s bail was secured by assets owned by Julia as well as her father, officials said.
Assistant District Attorney Cyril Heron told how police approached Fox Jr.
“Between March 2018 and December 2022, the defendant purchased at least 190 ghost weapons for a total value of more than $7,600, and all of these items were sent to the defendant’s home,” he explained. In addition, the NYPD did not find a significant number of items reflected in his purchase history, indicating that he made and sold illegal weapons:
“The defendant had enough gun parts to assemble an assault rifle style rifle.”
Prosecutors allege that Christopher made about $345,000 from illegal gun sales through his CashApp account between April 2020 and January 2023.
Law enforcers raided Christopher’s apartment at 6 a.m. on March 8. There, they found ghost firearms without serial numbers, bomb-making materials, and evidence of drug-making. Bottles of wine worth thousands of dollars were also found there.
The police are inclined to believe that Julia was not fully aware of her family’s criminal activities. Both she and her brother were raised by an unstable father who abused and offended them. Having become old enough, she moved away from her relatives.
“She knew about her father and brother’s 3D printing and suspected drug use but wasn’t sure because she had no contact with either of them. Her father is crazy and caused her emotional trauma that she will have to deal with until the end of his life. She knew that one day his life would catch up with him. She is glad that no one was hurt by his heinous actions, “said a source familiar with the actress.
In an interview, Julia called her brother a “mad scientist”.
The investigation into the case is currently ongoing.
