Twin sisters Kaliegh and Kori Robinson, both 27, were arrested in Charlotte last Sunday after allegedly entering a man's house without permission and confronting him, an encounter that left him on the ground and struggling to breathe after being struck in the groin.
According to Charlotte Alerts News, the sisters entered the man's home without invitation and got into an argument with him. During the confrontation, Kaliegh Robinson punched the man in the stomach and then in the testicles, according to the outlet's report, causing him to go to the ground and leaving him unable to breathe normally for several minutes. The report states the man is expected to be okay but may develop erectile dysfunction issues. The sisters left after the confrontation, per the same account.
Booking records from the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office show the twins share a birthdate of November 10, 1998, confirming both were 27 at the time of their arrest, according to a Facebook post detailing the county's public detention logs. Those same logs reveal a key distinction in how the two women were charged: Kaliegh Robinson was booked on both breaking or entering and simple assault, while Kori Robinson faces only the breaking or entering charge, the post notes.
What the Charges Could Mean
Misdemeanor breaking or entering under North Carolina General Statute § 14-54 is classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying a maximum sentence of 120 days in jail, according to the Powers Law Firm. Simple assault, the additional charge filed against Kaliegh Robinson, falls under N.C.G.S. § 14-33(a) as a Class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine of as much as $1,000, per the Manning Law Firm.
North Carolina law also draws a specific gender line in assault classifications. The elevated Class A1 misdemeanor charge known as “assault on a female” is reserved strictly for male defendants over 18, the Manning Law Firm explains, which is why a physical assault by a female against a male is generally charged as simple assault rather than the more serious category, absent weapons or serious injury.
Bond conditions and pre-trial release terms for the sisters were not set by arresting officers but by judicial officials such as magistrates or judges, as outlined in North Carolina General Statute § 15A-532, per the Facebook post covering the case. Magistrates weigh factors like flight risk and charge severity in setting bail.
A City Where Crime Has Been Trending Down
The arrest comes amid a period of declining crime statistics across Charlotte. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department data for the first quarter of 2026 showed overall crime in the city fell 23% compared to the same period in 2025, including an 18% drop in violent crime and a 23% drop in property crime, according to WCNC-TV. The department's 2025 annual public safety report similarly cited citywide reductions in both violent and property crime categories relative to prior years, according to the City of Charlotte.
The Robinson twins are not the first pair of Charlotte sisters to draw local attention for an arrest. Another set of 33-year-old twins, Derika and Tremika Hamilton, previously made headlines in Mecklenburg County after being arrested on drug and traffic-related charges, per local crime reporting on YouTube.
Legal Options Beyond Criminal Court
Separate from the criminal charges, North Carolina law allows victims of physical altercations to petition district court for civil domestic violence protective orders under Chapter 50B, according to the Glover Law Firm. Such orders operate independently of criminal misdemeanor proceedings and can impose restraining provisions regardless of how the criminal case is resolved, the firm notes.
