NEW YORK (AP) - A panty-raiding Queens man has been hung out to dry for allegedly selling more than $80,000 worth of stolen Victoria’s Secret bras on eBay.

George Tutaya, 41, of Rego Park, sold over 2,000 hot bras online over the past two years - and had another 650 bras worth an additional $26,000 in his home when he was caught, prosecutors said.

Sources said he bought the bras from a shoplifting ring. Tutaya used several different eBay and PayPal accounts to hawk the bras, worth between $40 and $80 apiece, for as little as $25 each, prosecutors said.

He got away with his scheme until a cybercrimes manager from Victoria’s Secret alerted the Queens district attorney’s office, prosecutors said.

Tutaya was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court Tuesday on indictment charges of 18 counts of criminal possession of stolen property.

He was ordered held on $7,500 bail and could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

He is due back in court Nov. 18.
