An Iowa City man faced criminal charges after he allegedly tricked women into sending him photos of themselves wearing lingerie.

Sean Patrick Boies, 29, was accused of stealing student identifications and passwords of University of Iowa students, and using that information to create a phony profile on the internet survey platform Qualtrics.

Police said Boies admitted to using a phishing scheme to get the student IDs in December 2013 and January 2014.

Criminal complaints allege that on two separate occasions, Boies pretended to represent Victoria’s Secret in surveys he published on Qualtrics.

Boies was accused of promising “selected winners” an invitation to a private photo shoot in Miami in a survey he posted in January 2014, asking women to submit photos of themselves in a bra and lingerie.  He got 510 responses to the survey, the complaint said, and he got photos from two respondents.

Boies was also accused of offering a $25 gift card to participants when he allegedly again posed as a Victoria’s Secret representative.  Police said Boies asked for, and got, information from nearly 6,300 survey respondents between December 1, 203 and May 31, 2014.  Police said Boies admitted he never sent the gift card to people who completed the survey.

Police said Boies was arrested at his apartment in Iowa City, Iowa December 10, 2014.

Court records showed Boies was charged with two counts of identity theft and one count of unauthorized computer access.

Jail records showed Boies was released on his own recognizance from the Johnson County Jail the day after he was arrested.

Virgin male rats prefer to have sex with females in sexy lingerie

Victoria’s Secret may have a new market.

Virgin male rats were allowed to have sex with female rats wearing special rodent “lingerie” for a study. When given a chance to do the deed again, they preferred the females clad in the bra-like jackets, according to Live Science.

The rodent Romeos learn that “each time my partner wears lingerie (a jacket), I’m going to have sex,” said study co-author Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino at Concordia University in Montreal.

According to the findings, male animals can learn to link clothing with sex. In previous studies, the researchers trained rats to associate an odor with having sex — and the males preferred a romp with females with that scent.

In the new study, 12 male rats mated with females wearing the foxy jackets. The males were then put in a chamber with two females — one wearing a jacket and one “au naturel.”

The males made more attempts to mount the females and even, ahem, finished more quickly with the females wearing the jackets.

In a bid to discover how rats’ brains were affected, researchers sacrificed the rodents and injected a dye into their brains to determine the activity of the c-fos gene in the pleasure centers of their brains.

Males that mated with the clothed females showed more c-fos activity than did males that mated with unclothed females, according to preliminary results.

The study was presented last month at the Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting in Washington.
