Police warn of amorous fake producer

BOSTON, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Boston police say a man is posing as a movie producer in an attempt to gain sexual favors from women in exchange for non-existent roles.

Boston police said at least three women have complained about the fake producer and a suspect has been identified but not charged in connection with the man's misleading postings on legitimate casting Web sites, The Boston Globe said Saturday.

Boston Police Lt. Detective Charles Wilson said the man has aspiring actresses act out seductive scenes before making sexual advances.

"He's very convincing, and of course it's all a fraud," Wilson said. "He has them read a script that's explicit, and then he has them act it out."

The unidentified man, who operated under the banner My 3 Sons Productions, denied the women's allegations, saying he is actually working on a legitimate movie script.

"I had conversations with probably 20 different actors, male and female," he told the Globe.

"There were a couple of people who tried to cause trouble with me, but there was nothing sexual," he added.
