Strength sports athlete Stefi Cohen, also known as Stefanie Cohen Margarici, found herself in hot water after being arrested on May 28, 2024. The professional boxer, powerlifter, and fitness influencer based in Miami, Florida, made headlines for all the wrong reasons this time.
Cohen, who has previously held 25 all-time world records in strength sports, was arrested on multiple criminal charges, including sexual cyber-harassment. It is alleged that she hacked into her ex-boyfriend’s computer and shared nude photos of his new girlfriend without consent. The victim reported the crimes to police in November 2023, with the incident occurring in March 2022.
During her arrest, Cohen reportedly resisted the authorities, using her leg to hook an officer and attempting to sweep him off his feet. Despite her efforts, she was eventually taken into custody. She even used her toes to break the locking system on the door of the police car.
