Miami Fitness Influencer Stefanie Cohen Arrested for Cyberharassment and Resisting Arrest
A prominent Miami fitness influencer and professional athlete, Stefanie Cohen Magarici, known for her popular Instagram account, has been arrested on charges of sexual cyberharassment and resisting arrest. Cohen, also a professional boxer and powerlifter, was taken into custody by the Miami-Dade Police Department in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood on Tuesday.
The arrest stemmed from an incident in which Cohen allegedly hacked into her ex-boyfriend’s computer to obtain intimate photos of another woman. The victim reported that Cohen accessed the photos on the ex-boyfriend’s Apple iCloud account and shared them across various online platforms with the intention to humiliate and expose her.
Following a report made by the victim and Cohen’s ex-boyfriend to the Miami-Dade Police Department in November 2023, additional information was provided to authorities on April 16 of this year. It was revealed that Cohen had discovered her ex-boyfriend’s new relationship in March 2022, leading her to breach his privacy and disseminate private photos of the couple.
Law enforcement officers located Cohen on Loquat Avenue and attempted to apprehend her. However, she resisted arrest by walking swiftly away and engaging in physical resistance. Despite being placed in handcuffs, Cohen managed to disrupt the locking mechanism of the police vehicle she was detained in, preventing the door from being secured.
Cohen was released from custody on Wednesday after posting bail of $3,300. In response to the allegations, she took to Instagram to assert that the charges were motivated by a vengeful ex-boyfriend and emphasized that they were merely accusations. The case is set to proceed, with a court appearance scheduled for June 27.
Stefanie Cohen Magarici, a world-renowned powerlifter and professional boxer with multiple records to her name, hails from Venezuela. Her achievements in both sports have garnered her widespread recognition in the fitness community.
