It's the summer of hot, hot crime.
Just a few months after the world went slack-jawed over a sexy mugshot of convicted felon Jeremy Meeks, there's a new sheriff -- or, perhaps, the opposite of that -- in town.
Montreal resident Stéphanie Beaudoin, is facing more than 100 charges related to robberies in the Canadian towns of Arthabaska and Maple; she allegedly committed 42 break-ins. But it wasn't until an image of Beaudoin wearing a bikini was discovered online that the suddenly the Internet became fascinated in a Québécois robbery case.
People are calling Beaudoin the "world's hottest criminal."
