I had a coworker who did this. It worked exactly once, and he knocked the girl up. He ended up marrying her. "technology blogger and aspiring photographer" yea that sums him up.

I wonder what they say when someone asks them how they met.

She was modeling and was NOT tricked into porn!

The story was originally reported on by the Seattle-based paper, The Stranger, last June. It's a fascinating read and is all the more disturbing because the guy had done work for The Stranger in the past:

The Audition

Six Women Say This Seattle Man Posed as a Female Porn Recruiter in Order to Lure Them to His Apartment

They continued to investigate, and things got worse:

Three Women Say Tech Journalist Matt Hickey Raped Them Outside of "The Audition" Scam

Fifteen years ago, Haley Byrd considered Matt Hickey her friend. Long before Hickey, a Seattle-based tech journalist, would be accused of using an elaborate, fake "porn audition" scam to coerce multiple women into sleeping with him, she and Hickey ran in the same Olympia social circles. He and Byrd frequented the same all-ages music shows. Two of Byrd's high-school best friends eventually became Hickey's housemates. To Byrd, Hickey was friendly; he was cool. And at...

Watch: One of Matt Hickey's Alleged Scam Victims Went on TV Last Night

Lauren McGrath, the D.C. woman whose Facebook photos were allegedly used to lure women to a Seattle man's apartment for a sex-based porn "audition," went on her local CBS affiliate last night to talk about the story. (Video after the jump.)

I'm glad that this is getting attention, but it reminds me of the Cosby situation. It feels like the problem was going on for some time and that it took on outside force to get these women the help they deserved.

That must have been a real fake agency.... whereas most of them are fake fake porn agencies.

Exactly. They were a real fake real agency as opposed to a real fake fake agency. If he'd run a fake fake fake agency he may have gotten away with it for longer, but would have had to pay more often.

So if he had actually sold a few of those tapes and paid the performers, he'd have been off the hook. If you're going to go through all of that trouble, why not go the last yard and become a legit side business? He could at least break even and get laid all the time.

Being a porn producer clearly wasn't creepy enough for him.
