STEFI COHEN REVENGE PORN

BY SNN.BZ SPORTS STAFF

Stefanie Cohen Magarici, a 32-year-old Venezuelan-born professional boxer, powerlifter, and fitness influencer with over 1 million Instagram followers, was arrested in Miami, Florida, on May 28, 2024, for actions stemming from an incident that began in March 2022.

According to multiple sources, including arrest reports and court documents, Cohen allegedly engaged in malicious behavior targeting her ex-boyfriend, Hayden Bowe, and his new girlfriend, Valentina Lequeux.

What are Stefi’s charges?

• Felony unauthorized access to a computer
• Misdemeanor sexual cyber-harassment
• Misdemeanor criminal mischief
• Resisting arrest without violence

The allegations center around Cohen’s unauthorized access to Bowe’s laptop, which he had left at their shared residence in Coconut Grove, Miami, after their relationship ended. This report details her alleged actions, the timeline of events, and relevant information for accessing related legal documents.

Timeline of Events

• March 21, 2022: Cohen allegedly learned of the relationship between her ex-boyfriend, Hayden Bowe, and Valentina Lequeux. Using a laptop Bowe left at their former shared residence, Cohen is accused of guessing commonly used passwords to access his Apple iCloud account.
  
  From this account, she reportedly obtained sexually explicit photos of Lequeux, which were intended to be private and shared only between Lequeux and Bowe. Cohen allegedly saved these photos and distributed them across various group chats that included Lequeux, herself, and other individuals, with the stated intent of “exposing and humiliating” Lequeux.
  
• November 15, 2023: Lequeux and Bowe reported the incident to the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD), detailing the unauthorized access and distribution of the photos. They claimed Cohen’s actions were malicious and intended to cause emotional distress.
  
• April 16, 2024: Lequeux and Bowe returned to the MDPD to provide additional information regarding the incident, further supporting their claims of Cohen’s cyberharassment.
  
• May 28, 2024: Miami-Dade police located Cohen walking along Loquat Avenue in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami. When informed she was under arrest, Cohen allegedly refused to comply, walking swiftly toward her residence and stating she was going to call her current boyfriend to pick up her dog. She physically resisted arrest by tensing her arms to prevent handcuffing.
  
  After being handcuffed, Cohen reportedly attempted to leg-sweep an officer, hooking his leg in an effort to destabilize him (and she destabilized him). Once placed in a police cruiser, she used her toes to manipulate and break the locking mechanism of the car door, causing it to malfunction. Despite these actions, she was taken into custody and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
  
• May 29, 2024: Cohen appeared in Miami-Dade bond court, where she was granted a $3,300 bond and ordered to stay away from both Bowe and Lequeux. She was released from custody later that day. In court, the charges filed included felony unauthorized access to a computer, misdemeanor sexual cyberharassment, misdemeanor criminal mischief (for damaging the police car’s locking mechanism), and resisting arrest without violence.
  
• Post-Arrest Statement: After her release, Cohen commented on an Instagram post by the account OnlyinDade, which detailed her arrest. She claimed the accusations were “false” and stemmed from a “vengeful ex-boyfriend,” stating, “Anyone can be falsely accused of a crime and arrested. These are only allegations from a vengeful x-boyfriend. Simply allegations and we will fight it all the way. Stay tuned!” Following this, her Instagram account was made private.
  
• June 27, 2024: Cohen was scheduled to appear in court for a follow-up hearing related to the charges, though specific outcomes of this hearing are not detailed in available sources.
  
• July 2, 2025: Cohen was arrested again in Miami on a domestic violence battery charge, though details of this incident, including the location and specifics of the alleged offense, are sparse. This arrest is unrelated to the cyberharassment case but indicates ongoing legal issues. The Miami-Dade Police Department has not released additional details about this incident.

Details of Alleged Behavior

Cohen’s actions are characterized as malicious and retaliatory, driven by her discovery of Bowe’s new relationship with Lequeux. The unauthorized access to Bowe’s iCloud account via his laptop constitutes a felony under Florida law, as it involved accessing a computer system without permission.

The distribution of Lequeux’s private, sexually explicit photos to group chats, with the explicit intent to humiliate her, falls under misdemeanor sexual cyberharassment, also known as revenge porn, which is a serious violation of privacy under Florida statutes. This act reportedly caused significant emotional distress to Lequeux, who stated the photos were shared without her consent and were meant to be private.

During her arrest, Cohen’s resistance escalated the situation. Her attempt to leg-sweep (where she took him off his feet) and her subsequent damage to the police car’s locking mechanism demonstrate a pattern of non-compliance and physical defiance, leading to more charges.

Context of Relationship and Legal Background

Cohen and Bowe had a prior relationship that included co-ownership of a Coconut Grove house, purchased by Bowe in July 2019 and jointly owned with Cohen as of April 2020. Their relationship ended before Bowe began dating Lequeux, who clarified on Instagram that she did not “steal” Bowe from Cohen, as their relationship began after his breakup with Cohen.

In March 2023, Bowe filed a lawsuit to force the sale of the shared property, indicating ongoing disputes. Additionally, in August 2023, Bowe’s request for a domestic violence restraining order against Cohen was denied by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Jason A. Reding Quinones, suggesting prior tensions but no judicially recognized grounds for a restraining order at that time.

• Cohen’s professional reputation as a 25-time world record powerlifter and professional boxer (4-1-1 record as of June 2023) may be impacted by these charges, with potential loss of sponsorships and brand deals due to the serious nature of the allegations.
  
• The second arrest on July 2, 2025, for domestic violence battery may also have associated records in the Miami-Dade County system, but details are limited. You may need to search for this case separately using the same clerk’s website.
  
• Cohen’s claim of false accusations suggests she intends to contest the charges, which may result in additional court filings or hearings beyond June 27, 2024.

Opinion

Stefanie Cohen Magarici suffers from good old fashioned Latin jealousy (she is Venezuelan after all). Her boyfriend, Hayden Bowe went from sharing a house together to splitting up with her completely. He not only tossed her over — but replaced her with a very feminine version of a female powerlifter. The new model is into body sculpting.
