A man accused of posing as a Disney casting agent has been granted bail in court today.
The 57-year-old father from Sydney's inner-west allegedly lured young actors with fake opportunities in exchange for sexual favours.
Tactical officers stormed Gerard Vamadevan's home in Lewisham about 9am yesterday, seizing documents and electronic items.

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.
One of his alleged victims was a 17-year-old girl.
"I was lonely and looking for a bit of company," he said.
As he represented himself in court today, he said he thought he was within the law.
The self-titled salesman had been on a two-year good behaviour bond, after being charged with similar offences in 2022.
Vamadevan is now facing 11 charges, including stalking and procuring a child for prostitution, which alone carries a maximum penalty of 14 years behind bars.
He will next appear at Downing Centre Local Court next week.
