18-Year-Old Convicted of Robbing 84-Year-Old After Online Date

An 18-year-old New York woman has been convicted of robbing an 84-year-old man she met on an online dating site.

The New York Times reports Shaina Foster agreed to plead guilty to one count of robbery Thursday in exchange for a prison term of five years.

Prosecutors say Foster and her twin sister, Shalaine, tied up Paul Aronson in his home on Oct. 1 and took off with his cash and credit cards after he took them on a date to an expensive midtown restaurant.

A neighbor discovered Aronson the next day, bound with zip ties. He had met Shaina Foster on SeekingArrangement.com, a site aimed at connecting wealthy men with young women for "mutually beneficial relationships."

Shalaine Foster pleaded guilty to robbery charges in April.
