Man charged after allegedly posing as casting agent in Sydney's inner west

A Sydney man is set to face court today after allegedly falsifying documents and posing as a casting agent offering false acting opportunities in exchange for sex acts to lure young actors.

Detectives began an investigation in November last year, after reports of a man who allegedly falsified documents, posing as a casting agent for an international company, offering false TV and film opportunities for sexual activity. 

Following further investigations, detectives executed a search warrant at a home in Lewisham at about 9am yesterday, seizing documents and electronic items.
