Wait, “The Casting Couch” isn’t real?

[Paladin2]

Tricked? Really?

[2banana]

A man lied to women for sex?

And this is news?

I guess my time as the space shuttle door gunner is over...

[Uncle Miltie]

Fake News?

Last paragraph:

"Hickey’s criminal defense attorney, James Bible, did not immediately return an email seeking comment."

[bigbob]

hardly a “first”

[Telepathic Intruder]

Porn is basically sex for money. So what’s the crime here that isn’t worse than porn?

[MuttTheHoople]

Wherever are these women going to get their virtue back?

[HamiltonJay]

Okay the fraud I get but what’s the 2nd degree rape? Is this the new PC way of defining statutory rape in the age of homosexual normalization?

It’s a crime to lie to hookers and get them to work for free. Now we know.

I suspect his "victims" might have been looking for his services in order to find his website. I really doubt his website found them.

Second degree rape seems like a prosecutorial over reach for what the story claims. He certainly committed fraud and a slew of crimes using the internet to do it.

“This is one of the most egregious scams I’ve seen as Attorney General,” Ferguson said. “Beyond the monetary damage his victims suffered pursuing the defendant’s fictional job opportunities, they endured emotional trauma and unconscionable loss of privacy through his deception.”

Did he pay them? What's the problem?

It's not like these women were showing up to audition for Disney on Ice or to host Sprout TV. They were showing up to audition for porn shoots!

Sorry, but "egregious scam"? Get real. Ladies, chalk this up as a painful lesson learned. Sometimes you're going to meet unscrupulous, deceptive people in the porn industry.

[WKUHilltopper]

Tricked? LOL! Right.

[Proyecto Anonimo]

The women just wanted to “get their nails done.”

Should have read the ad more carefully.

[jiggyboy]

Ok, I gotta start writing this down. This is getting too complicated to remember.

- Not paying her to have sex with you — OK
- Paying her to have sex with you — ILLEGAL
- Paying her to have sex with somebody else while you make a movie of it — OK
- Not paying her to have sex with you, but telling her that at some point you will pay her to have sex with somebody else while you make a movie of it — ILLEGAL

[day10]

Well, there goes that plan! /s

[Drew68]

to the criminal rape charges he is facing.

I'm curious where they got rape charges from.

Is it a crime to receive sex that was precipitated on lying about who you are?

So if I tell a young actress that I'm a porn producer and I'll get her a job if she has sex with me and she does, is it rape if I were lying? What if I told her I was rich? Or I was actually Brad Pitt? Does the sex no longer become consensual when she learns afterwards that I am, in fact, not Brad Pitt?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Probably got a bunch of Liberal soccer moms to try out for the parts.

Good candid camera gummick. Instead of Alan Funt it would be...

[trebb]

As if women interested in the porn industry need to be tricked into performing their tricks....

[tomkat]

Can’t ‘rape’ the willing.

[Mariner]

What a joke.

None of these women were raped. None.
