We have all been watching the news when suddenly a story comes on about some woman that has broken the law. Every once in a while that woman is very beautiful and the world immediately thinks “Whatever she is accused of, she couldn’t have done it.” For some reason a lot of people associate beauty with innocence and that couldn’t be further from the truth. There are plenty of beautiful women out there who are guilty of something. One of the main reasons the public takes notice of these women is their beauty. The more beautiful they are, the more the press seems to cover their story.

The collection of beautiful women who are criminals is quite extensive. Putting this piece together for you today, it could have easily included nearly one hundred women from the United States alone. When you broaden the search to global, the numbers are actually staggering. So to narrow things down we stayed just within the United States.

You’ll see plenty of beautiful American criminals, some who have committed really bad crimes and some who have committed some really stupid ones. You’ll learn of the beautiful woman who dined and dashed but left her purse that was filled with drugs behind, the woman who really wanted a new shirt from Dillard’s, and the woman who is so hot that men from across the country offered to pay her bail!

15. Sarah Jane Isbister

If you don’t have a valid driver license you shouldn’t get behind the wheel. That’s the smart thing to do. All too often though that’s not the way things go and Sarah Jane Isbister is another example of a bad decision making beauty.

For unknown reasons Isbister’s license was invalid and she did something to draw the attention of the local cops. That’s another thing that’s not such a great idea if you aren’t a legal driver. She was arrested for driving with an invalid driver’s license. She quickly became one of the most beautiful criminals you’ll ever see in America.

14. Lorena Tavera

Lorena Tavera is a real life beauty queen who proves that looks can’t always get you what you want. She definitely has the looks, as you can see, but they weren’t good enough to get her the shirt she wanted from Dillard’s in 2011.

The shirt was worth $69 and when she was arrested for shoplifting the police found out that she actually had two other outstanding warrants for her arrest.

Prior to her life of crime Lorena won Miss El Paso Teen USA in 2006 and then went on to win Miss El Paso in 2008. Now she is one of the most beautiful criminals in Texas history!

13. Lindsey Evans

Lindsey Evans is a beautiful blonde who was never schooled properly on the art of the dine and dash. In 2008 she went out for dinner and decided that since she was the current Miss Teen Alabama, this entitled her to not have to pay for her meal. Unfortunately for her, when you are a reigning beauty queen lots of eyes are watching every move you make. So people noticed when she walked out the door of the restaurant without paying the $46 for her meal. She made it easy for those who might not know who she is though, by leaving her purse behind. When police arrived they found plenty of illegal drugs inside the purse. There is your answer.

12. Anna Chapman

Anna Chapman can be considered an American criminal because she was busted in the United States. The beautiful redhead was actually a Russian spy who came very close to finishing her mission here. If that had happened, authorities say that she would have been “the most dangerous spy in American history.”

She and nine other spies were eventually busted before they could get the information they were seeking and pass it on to Moscow. It’s easy to see how she worked her way into places that she shouldn’t have been. Looks like hers can open a lot of doors for a woman.

11. Angela Coates

Angela Coates is yet another beauty queen discussed here today. The former Jet Magazine “Beauty of the Week” was busted in Dekalb County, Georgia in 2014 for being a bad girl. When she was arrested she quickly became known across the country not for her crime, but for her looks. The five foot seven inch stunner was arrested for disorderly conduct and had her bail set at $360. As soon as it was posted on the internet the offers started to come in. That’s right, people from all over the country were offering to pay her bail, just because she is so beautiful. We’ve got some crazy people in our country don’t we?

10. Meagan Simmons

Meagan Simmons isn’t your typical DUI victim. The Zephyrhills, Florida resident was arrested back in 2010 and when her mugshot was put on the internet the world went crazy. She has been called the hottest criminal of all time by people who follow that sort of thing. However, the mother of four wasn’t very pleased with all of the attention. As a matter of fact she filed a lawsuit against InstantCheckmate.com for using the mugshot in advertisements for their website without paying her for the rights. One of the ads read “Sometimes the cute ones aren’t so innocent.” It’s quite obvious why everyone was so obsessed with her. Look at her!

9. Veronica Rodriguez

Veronica Rodriguez caught the eyes of Tampa area police back in 2010. She was 19 years old at the time and she had been out drinking with some friends. She was pulled over and busted for DUI and obstructing or opposing an officer with violence. It wasn’t bad enough that she was hammered, but she knew it and refused to take part in a breathalyzer test. Hey wait a minute, isn’t the legal drinking age 21 years old? That could have been an issue as well. Anyway, orange looks pretty good on her wouldn’t you agree? There is no question that she is one of the most beautiful criminals America has ever seen!

8. Sarah Fowlkes

Sarah used to be a 27 year old teacher in Texas at Lockhart High School and I’m pretty sure that you can guess what she did without my even having to write it. You guessed it; she had sex with a seventeen year old student. The science teacher became involved in a sexual relationship with the student and when authorities found out about it she was busted by the Lockhart Police Department. She was charged with having an inappropriate relationship with a male student and if you look at her mug shot, she certainly doesn’t look too worried does she? She either has a really good lawyer or she is dumb enough to think she was going to get away with what she did. We know why the student didn’t say no though!

7. Mary Hunt

Mary Catherine Hunt doesn’t take rejection very well. This hotty was upset with her boyfriend when he dumped her so she figured she would hit him where it hurt the most; in the wallet. She stole $2.1 million worth of jewelry and gold from his vault after Scott Mitchell broke up with her. They were engaged to be married and he obviously saw something that told him he needed to end things. He probably didn’t see the robbery coming though. He alleges that Mary’s parents helped her with the crime. It’s easy to see what he saw in her and she is definitely one of the most beautiful criminals in America.

6. Haeli Wey

Haeli Wey sounds more like the name of a road than a high school teacher. However this former math teacher was travelled just about as much as one. She was a 28 year old teacher at Westlake High School when she became involved in a sexual relationship with a 17 year old student. They hooked up about ten times before the student ended the relationship. He dumped her because he found out that she had hooked up with another 17 year old from the school!

It’s easy to see why they wanted to hook up with this smoking hot former teacher. She is probably the most beautiful criminal that Travis County has ever seen.

5. Katie Rees

Anytime you have a current or former beauty queen carrying out criminal acts they will automatically be on every single hot criminals list. Katie Rees is no different, just take a look at her and you’ll quickly see why she won Miss Nevada USA 2007. Shortly after she won the title though, it was ripped away from her. Several explicit photos of her with other women were released online and the higher ups no longer thought she was worthy of the title.

It was a devastating event for Rees, who then went into a very bad downward spiral. She was busted on four felony drug charges in 2015 and then just a couple of months later she was busted on drug charges once again. There is no doubt though, that she is one of the hottest criminals the USA has ever seen.

4. Toni Hopkins

Toni Lee Hopkins is an upscale stripper in Houston, Texas. That qualifies her to be on any list of hot criminals in the country as soon as she is arrested. She worked at The Men’s Club, an upper class gentleman’s club, when it was raided by local police. She was busted for violating statutes governing sexually oriented businesses. Basically that means that she did some things that are against the local laws. Take a good look at her and you’ll see that none of her customers were complaining about whatever it is that she did wrong. Is she one of the most beautiful criminals we have ever seen in America? You bet!

3. Kathryn Dennis

Not a lot is known about Kathryn Dennis other than she is a model and she did something to piss off the police in Charleston, South Carolina. This blonde haired, green eyed beauty couldn’t hide the fact that she had been crying when they took her mug shot. She broke the law somehow and she ended up being one of the hottest criminals the United States has ever seen. With that innocent, girl next door look there is no telling what she did to end up in the back of a squad car. It’s fun to think about it and speculate though right?

2. Jennifer Jensen

Jennifer Jensen is a beauty who was arrested back in 2011 for not being such a good driver. She crashed into a vehicle that was stopped in front of her, causing that vehicle to crash into the vehicle that was in front of it. Nobody got hurt in the collision but Jensen was checked out and failed her DUI test. This obviously led to her being busted for DUI and then there was an added on charge of no proof of insurance.

She looks like someone that you might see on the up and coming young celebrity list but booze saw to it that she’ll never be on that list. Or maybe she’s now on the fast track to fame?

1. Marllory Rossell

Marllory Dadiana Chacon Rossell was a very bad girl. The very beautiful blonde was labelled by the U.S. Treasury Department as “one of the most prolific narcotics traffickers in Central America.” They froze her assets in 2012 after they confirmed that each month she was moving thousands of kilos of cocaine into the United States via Mexico. She was a money laundering and drug trafficking magician, very successfully pulling off tricks that had never been seen before. She proved that looks are often associated with innocence as it took authorities a long time to figure out what she was up to.
