A criminal case against a 54-year-old man accused of robbing a 66-year-old pensioner he met through the dating app Badoo is withdrawn, according to reports. The complainant accepted R4,000 through an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, after which the matter is taken no further. The allegation is that the man met the pensioner via Badoo and later robbed her. The complainant’s acceptance of the payout is presented as the reason the prosecution does not proceed. ADR outcomes typically involve negotiated settlement terms that can lead to withdrawal of criminal proceedings where agreed by the parties and the relevant authorities. The report frames the decision as a resolution of the dispute between the two individuals rather than an adjudication in court. No further details of the underlying circumstances of the robbery, the exact terms of the settlement, or any admissions of guilt are included in the available information.
