Maybe that’s what you get
A man who went on a “date” at a Cobb hotel with a woman he met on an adultery website was robbed afterward, police said.
They found each other on Ashley Madison, which is a website geared toward people trying to cheat on the low. The website was hacked a couple years ago and the hackers dropped 10 gigabytes of wide-ranging data online, including several emails registered to Georgia government accounts.
At the time of the hack, the site boasted 37 million members. Its slogan is: “Life is short. Have an affair.”
In the Cobb case, the Deactur woman the man met up with was arrested on a robbery charge, according to her warrant.
The man picked up the woman at the Days Inn at 2191 Northwest Parkway about midnight on Valentine’s Day. When he came back to the address after the “date,” he was attacked by the woman and an unknown man, the warrant said.
The male attacker took the victim’s iPhone X and a pair of sunglasses, the warrant said, before the male assailant sped off in a burgundy SUV.
The woman was arrested Feb. 24 and remained in Cobb jail without bond on Monday, according to jail records.
