Man used dead roommate's cell phone to ask women's bra sizes

A northeast Pennsylvania man faces years in prison for allegedly using his dead roommate’s cell phone to call women and ask for their lingerie sizes while pretending to be a representative for Victoria’s Secret.

Cpl. James Edwards of the Pennsylvania State Police at Bloomsburg said that David Claude English, 53, of Berwick, Pa., could have called more than 200 women over this three month period.

English would call the women and ask them to participate in a non-existent free giveaway. He would then allegedly ask for the women’s underwear and bra sizes under the guise that he would send them correct items.

Police linked English to the crime after two victims put a trace on the calls. English initially claimed someone else had used the phone illegally.

The phone was registered to Tina Gyle. She has been dead for more than a year.

English faces seven counts of harassment and could be sentenced to as many as seven years in prison.
