 They said Valle told the other man, who claimed to be in India, that his "girlfriend" and his wife were both 25 years old, 5 feet 7 inches and 10 stones.
According to prosecutors, the other man asked if the wife was vegetarian and Valle said yes.
Prosecutors said the man told Valle her meat would be lower quality.
