Stefi Cohen's previous sexual cyberharassment charges
According to US Weekly, Cohen was charged in May 2024 with sexual cyberharassment and resisting arrest. The Miami-based social media personality allegedly accessed her ex-boyfriend's iCloud account using commonly known passwords, obtained explicit photos of his new girlfriend, and later distributed them in a group chat, in an attempt to 'embarrass' the other woman.
TMZ reported that the incident was first reported to police by the ex and his partner in November 2023 and provided additional information in April 2024. When police attempted to arrest Cohen a month later, she allegedly resisted. She ignored officers' commands and even attempted a leg sweep while in handcuffs.
Authorities claimed she broke the locking mechanism of the police car she was placed. The influencer was released from county jail the following day.
