Man accused of raping, robbing woman he met on dating site

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police arrested and charged a man with raping a woman that he met on a dating site earlier this month.

The woman told Channel 9 that 25-year-old Terraries Thomas came to the door of her apartment on Mossburn Road around noon Dec. 1 looking for directions. She said he pulled out a gun and raped her.

However, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department sent Channel 9 a release Monday evening saying the woman met Thomas on a dating site and invited him to her home.

Officers said while inside, Thomas pulled out a gun and raped the woman before robbing her and leaving.

"I’m surprised and disturbed,” neighbor Londa Holiday said.
