NBC) - The Washington State Attorney General's Office last week filed a most unusual consumer protection lawsuit — charging a Seattle man with running a scheme for nearly a decade where he set up a fake talent agency for adult entertainers in order to trick women into posing nude and having sex with him.


Michael-Jon Matthew Hickey is accused of creating a fictitious business and using deceptive ads with bogus employment offers to find his victims. The lawsuit alleges Hickey offered and advertised commercial services solely for his "own personal gain" and to "satisfy his sexual desires" with no intention of following through on the promised services to help these women find jobs.


Hickey, a 40-year old technology blogger and aspiring photographer, is charged with numerous violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act and the Commercial Electronic Mail Act.


"This is one of the most egregious scams I've seen as Attorney General," said Washington AG Bob Ferguson in a statement. "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."

So this guy would find chicks on Facebook, pretend to be an agent that could connect women into the porn business and then "audition" them for sex. Sounds like a twist on the old "Casting Couch".

Gee, used to be fathers hoped their daughters would never turn to prostitution or porn, now the government sues the guy that's actually preventing them from a career in porn.

This would be a fun jury to sit on...

I dont get this, they chose to have sex with him. They want to work in porn, this wont be the last time they have sex with a stranger

There is definitely fraud going on but he basically is doing the same screening and interview process that the porn industry does, just without the porn industry.
