Man Charged With Selling Stolen Bras Online

POSTED: 8:16 am MDT September 3, 2008

A New York man has been charged with selling $80,000 worth of stolen Victoria's Secret bras online.

Prosecutors said 41-year-old George Tutaya was arraigned Tuesday on charges of possessing stolen property. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.

A telephone call to his attorney hasn't been returned.

Prosecutors said Tutaya used eBay auction and PayPal payment accounts to sell the brassieres for about $25 each. The bras retail for $40 to $80.

Prosecutors said records recovered at Tutaya's home in Queens link him to the sale of more than 2,000 bras worth more than $80,000. They say another 650 stolen bras were recovered in his home.

A cybercrimes manager from Victoria's Secret alerted the Queens district attorney's office, according to prosecutors.

He could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.
