ATLANTA — A Georgia man faces life in prison after he plead guilty to robbing a Lawrenceville couple and sexually assaulting one of them.

Police say 23-year-old Stevenson Charles connected through one of the victims through a dating app called “Scruff.”

According to Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson, Charles also faces murder and armed robbery charges in DeKalb County.

“This defendant’s behavior is absolutely outrageous,” Austin-Gatson said. “We are pleased with this life sentence, and we hope this resolution gives justice to the individuals he targeted.”

DA Austin-Gatson warned, “be careful not to allow yourself to become a victim by hooking up with strangers on dating apps.”
