More Victims Step Forward In Dating Website Robbery Cases

Oldsmar, FL -- Two of the three people charged in a recent armed robbery spree involving a popular dating website face additional charges after more victims stepped forward to speak with Pinellas County Sheriff’s detectives.

According to the sheriff’s office, victims in two new cases came forward after the initial arrests were reported. In the first two cases, the victims reportedly used the dating website Plenty of Fish to search for female companions. They communicated with a person on the website who identified herself as “Jessica” or “Curvy­_Cameron93,” the sheriff’s office wrote in an email to media.

“The victims and the suspects continued communication through text messages and agreed to meet the users in a room at the Bayview Motel,” the email said.

Once at the 501 Bayview Blvd. motel in Oldsmar, however, the victims found out their dates were shams, deputies say.

“When the victims arrived at the prearranged meeting locations, they were battered and robbed at gun point by two male suspects,” the email said. “The suspects stole cash and various personal belonging from the victims and fled the scene.”

The first reported robbery occurred on June 19 at 8:45 p.m., deputies say. The second on Friday at 3:25 a.m.

Those victims came forward, kicking off an investigation. Three people were arrested last week in connection with the two robberies. They are:

• Charlie Woodley, 21, of Largo
• Cameron Davis, 20, of Oldsmar
• Rachel Brown, 19, of Largo

Woodley and Davis both originally faced two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon. Brown was charged with one count of being a principal to robbery with a deadly weapon.

The first of the two new cases reported occurred on June 16 at the Bayview Motel. This is the location where the two previously reported attacks occurred. In this case, a victim told deputies he arrived at the hotel around 12:20 a.m. and was robbed at gunpoint.

The second new case occurred on June 18 around 3 a.m. In this case, the the robbery took place at the 20788 U.S. 19 Knights Inn in Clearwater, deputies say.

With two additional victims now identified, deputies say Woodley and Davis each face two additional counts of robbery with a deadly weapon. Both men remained in the Pinellas County Jail Tuesday, awaiting trial.

Brown also remained in the Pinellas County Jail Tuesday.
