JSO: Man beaten and robbed after meeting up with woman he messaged on online dating website Plenty of Fish

Jacksonville, FL — A local man who thought he was showing up for a date, was instead beaten and robbed.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has made three arrests in connection to an armed robbery, tied to the online dating website Plenty of Fish.

According to their arrest reports, three suspects, Kristen Freese, 19, Elizabeth Rittenhouse, 20, and Darell Mathis, 24, were all in some way connected to an armed robbery that took place inside a home on Haverford Road on Jacksonville's Northside, earlier this week.

JSO says the victim, a man, showed up to the home to meet up with a woman he had been messaging with on Plenty of Fish. Once inside, three men slammed him to the floor and started beating him.

One of the men who had a gun, allegedly demanded the victim to empty his pockets and strip off his clothes. The report says the men continued to beat the victim, as they took his wallet and iPhone.

After locking him in a closet for several minutes, the men eventually kicked him out of the home, allegedly threatening to kill him if he called police.

The report says the victim drove down the road where another person called police for him. He was taken to the hospital with several cuts to his face, swelling and bruising.

Freese, Rittenhouse, and Mathis are now all charged with armed robbery. It's not yet clear if police have identified the other people involved.
