Fake Sexology Research Study

- The University of Washington Police Department (UWPD) has received four non-criminal complaints between October 1st and November 8th of 2011 about a man posing as a “sexology” research study facilitator, promising $400.00 to $650.00 in return for participation. It is unknown how many persons have met with the fictitious facilitator who introduces himself as “Quinton Brown” and “Quinton Johnson.” The four complainants to date described meeting with the man in empty classrooms all hours of the day and evening in Paccar Hall or Denny Hall. The complaints detailed a man who could not explain the source of his “study,” who did not offer a contract in writing, who asked the interested person to complete a job application that included legal names, addresses, birth dates, emails, phone numbers & more. The man showed sexually explicit photographs, sexually explicit videos and on two occasions invited the participant to a motel/hotel room to “role play.” Nearly all of the complainants expressed concern that they provided their private information.
