Twin sisters in New York City were charged this week for tying up and robbing an 84-year-old man they met on a dating website.
The New York Times reports that 84-year-old Paul Aronson met Shaina Foster, 17, on SeekingArrangement.com. On Oct. 1, Foster and her sister, Shalaine, joined Aronson for dinner at a Manhattan restaurant, then came back to his apartment. According to the Times, he purchased a bottle of raspberry-flavored rum and allowed the girls to play with his dog, but the situation soured quickly when the elderly man introduced sex to the conversation:
He asked to do things I wasn’t going to do, she told Detective Darryl Ng at the 17th Precinct after the girls were arrested on Oct. 21. He is ugly, old and disgusting. I tied him up. I took his money and left. He was starting to creep me out.
The girls allegedly used zip ties to bind Aronson, then stole his credit cards and $470 from his wallet which they used for an ill-advised shopping spree. Shalaine Foster claims that she only watched as her sister tied up Aronson, and both girls pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, larceny, burglary and more yesterday.
