...well, at least they were up front this time, and she knew she was getting screwed...
![\"user-pic\"](\"/css/images/default.gif\")
I like the fact that the Geek Squad guy SUCCEEDED in his ruse, but then, after it was all over, didn't just high tail it out of there. I just picture him going 'Wow...so THAT'S what sex with an actual woman is like! I'm never leaving this room!\"

@ophmarketing: I dunno i know some geek squad members who give it up to the first douchebag that they meet.
geek squad screwed someone. whats the new story here?
So would that be rape or theft? <-- Same question Geek Squad customers must ask when they get their bill

@Cant_stop_the_rock:
sexual assault and impersonating a police officer it's in the article, so rape... That's federal pound me in the ass time.
@squinko - doesn't need firefighters: That's not true at all. It's harder to prove with a prostitute but raping one is still legally rape.

@Cant_stop_the_rock: Oh right, because prostitutes sell their bodies so if someone rapes them it doesn't count!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-543146-100x100.png\")
@squinko - doesn't need firefighters: Yeah, so technically they could also charge him with theft of services.

@Cant_stop_the_rock: Aren't jokes supposed to be funny? George Carlin proved it's possible to make a rape joke funny. You did not.
Half the comments on this article are jokes, but I'm the only one who used the word \"rape.\" Get over it.
@Cant_stop_the_rock: You're also the only one who cited that stupid 'can't rape a prostitute' argument, which has actually been used in courts, including as recently as 2007, when a judge actually refused to uphold sex assault charges in a case where a prostitute was gang raped at gunpoint.
Some of the other comments are in fairly bad taste, sure, but yours is special.

I didn't think Geek Squad guys were that smart! Hmmm.....maybe the woman was just that dumb.

@savdavid: You may be right. Let's face it, he did think of the idea.
And one thing I'm wondering about is this: what kind of light package did he have on his car? 'cause I'm not going anywhere unless I see a full-blown Christmas tree flashing on it. Even an unmarked car has the lights in the grill. But ok, enough thinking.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-791079-100x100.png\")
Wow...Just wow.....
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-944941-100x100.png\")
Wonder if she got the extended warranty with that package?
It's weird he didn't run away after they finished their nasty act and actually waited for the police to arrive, maybe he thought he could convince the police that his badge is really real
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-87429-100x100.png\")
Man, he did one smart thing followed up by one stupid thing. Why would you refuse to leave the room?
As far as I know, the NJ State Police don't use badges, except for on their hat, which is a tringle. Much different than this:
You would think a woman of the night would know what badges the local constabulary uses. Upgrayedd is gonna be pissed.
How do you pawn a badge that has an orange and black \"Geek Squad\" logo as a state ID? She's as much to blame as the ass hat with the badge.

Moral of the story.. Don't be a hooker?
How else are geeks going to get laid if they can't use their smarts for trickery? Hell, 99% of all hookups are under false pretenses. This guy just got giggy with it.

@Joe Lachiana: He could have paid--nothing wrong with that. @The Lonely Tourist: No means no, and she said yes, so it's more like extortion than rape. Having sex with cops is probably just one of the costs of black market business, although cops or faux cops making such demands are still bad people
@Joe Lachiana: Hey, maybe you could call it what is it: Rape. He didn't \"get laid\" and they didn't have sex - he threatened her with arrest if she didn't comply with his demands. That's rape.
guess he used his hard drive to ram her motherboard.......
For the record,
Geek Squad badges are made by the same company that makes police badges and supposedly that company makes the Geek Squad badges to the same quality as police badges.
That sucks, he put in all that work and got a virus!

Ha, ha! I think everyone at Geek Squad is a counter-intelligence agent! As in everything they do is counter to intelligence and is some cases they are just as smart as the counter they are working at.
@ColoradoShark: You know mark, as a Colorado Geek Squad Counter Intelligence Agent, I find that offensive. How many Geek Squad Agents do you actually know? And what is your history in computer repair that gives you the moral authority to make that claim?
I'm trying not to laugh, because this isn't really funny but...I can't help it. Lol.
@Psychosocial: you can laugh. it's hysterical. everyone get off your high horse. he conned her, he didn't rape her. it's no different than a guy at the bar saying he's an astronaut to get in some girls pants.
@craptastico: Wow - so not hysterical. And this isn't a \"con\". A con would be your example of the astronaut - this is a threat of arrest if the woman did not follow his demands.
I wonder if he included the Monster Cables?

She sure isn't the brightest tool in the shed, but she certainly deserves to at least get paid for what she did. I hope that fucker gets a lot of jail time.

Downers Grove, IL Best Buy breakroom, 2:34pm: \"So, I heard there was this guy at a New Jersey store who got laid once\"

\"You want a badge? I got your F***king badge right here!\"
lol jersey owns
My biggest question is.. Did he install a anti-viral shield first?
Is THAT your hard drive?
most geeks do not get badges.
your average geek at a best buy store is a counter ops agent or a counter intelligence agent, neither of those get the big badges.
Deputy of Counter Intelligence (DCI) and Double Agents or higher get the big fancy badges.

I feel this will be the end of GeekSquad having badges.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-95687-100x100.png\")
My friends that are double agents for the Geek Squad have shown me their badges (one friend managed to get two). They are made by a company that actually makes official Law Enforcement badges complete with the \"Agent's\" name engraved on it and a unique badge number.
And seriously, people call me a wannabe cop with my Crown Vic.
hahah this was in the town i live in!! Why did i not hear about this!
@JerseyCelebrity: it was in the daily record. they've caught hookers working at that hotel a few times over the last few years

Geek Squad found a new way to steal porn.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-444699-100x100.png\")
So, if the woman already had agreed to a sex-for-money deal, wouldn't the geek squad badge guy just be guilty of theft?
@temporaryerror: He's guilty of impersonating a police officer and hiring a prostitute. You can't steal something that is illegal.
That is one ballsy geek. Good for him.
@bbagdan: Stealing from prostitutes is poor form. It would only be ballsy if she had a pimp and he went all Taxi Driver on him.
....
Yeah, I'll be leaving. This is just ... wow.
\"Coerce Sex Out Of Prostitute\"
You mean, rape a prostitute? I just joined this site, but I think I will have to leave, because this post and these comments are quite ... horrible. I am appalled!
This is rape, not \"coerced sex\". Please change it.
\"Coerce sex\" = rape. If the headline were worded right, maybe the response would be more appropriate.

CIA agents don't get badges, only Double Agents, Special Agents, Managers (DCI) and above.
Yes, they look freaking authentic, they are EVEN NUMBERED! (I'm 9899 :)
So next time you're about to give it up to get out of a ticket, get the badge number and call 800-geek-squad. haha
Geek Squad: Fucking you over in more than one way.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-87239-100x100.png\")
This was not rape, but it also was clearly not right. And all joking aside, prostitutes are often very very sad women who were horribly abused in their childhood. Not cool. Not cool at all.
![\"user-pic\"](\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-6536-100x100.png\")
@banmojo: Or were kidnapped and forced into prostitution. People like to pretend that human trafficking doesn't happen in this country but it does.
G-d, a lot of the comments here are horrible. What happened to being a f---ing person?
Granted impersonating a cop is not good and rape is always wrong. However being that she is a prostitute does not exactly qualify her as the sharpest tool in the shed. Chances are the Geek Squadder could have drawn a picture of a badge on a napkin and still fooled her. Did she really believe that going to meet someone to do an illegal act was safe or that the guy would be completely truthful about himself and his identity?
Coercive sex is hilarious and OK when it happens to a prostitute!
