Two men in masks men made the alleged victim open his phone and transfer $1,000 to another account in the Jan. 29 armed robbery, prosecutors saidA man was forced to send $1,000 to a masked robber at knifepoint after being set up in Boston's North End this January, prosecutors said Monday, announcing that charges were filed in the case.
The man had arranged to meet the woman, whom he'd spoken with on the dating website seeking.com and agreed to pay $400, on Margaret Street, but when arrived, he saw the masked men, prosecutors said. He kept walking, but the men allegedly came up from behind him, one with a knife. The masked men forced the other man against the wall and demanded his money, and when he handed over $60, they said it was"not good enough," according to prosecutors. Asked how he would have paid the $400, the alleged victim said he would have used Venmo.
Alves, 22, appeared in a Boston court Thursday to face charges of masked and armed robbery, where a judge ordered he be released but stay away from the alleged victim and where the alleged robbery took place. Alves is due back in court Dec. 4; it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges.
