Steamy wanted photo of Aussie delinquent Jess Mabilia goes viral
Victoria, Australia - An Australian man wanted by police for contravening court orders fugitive is making waves on Facebook after the police posted his mugshot, inadvertently subjecting him to waves of forbidden love.
Jess Mabilia is wanted for breaking court orders, according to Victoria Police, the law enforcement agency for the south-eastern state of Australia home to Melbourne. Announcing the warrant, authorities published a picture of the man on Facebook - and no one could have imagined what came next.
Most of those who viewed the picture found themselves lost in the 28-year-old's seductive gaze. It didn't take long for all hell to break loose in the comments section, either, with one user writing that "I hope I find him on tinder before authorities find him."
On the other hand, the whole thing might have actually been a masterstroke from Victoria Police. Given that he's now wanted in more ways than one, Jess Mabilia might find it a bit difficult to keep a low profile.
Jess Mabilia becomes sexy sensation due to mugshot
Now that Mabilia has gone totally viral on social media, fans of the wanted criminal have found themselves commenting in droves, expressing their undying love.
"Hey Jess, if you can see this message, you can come crash in my place," one user offered, while another even compared him to a model: "What is this, a Wanted photo or a Calvin Klein ad?"
"Charged with breaking and entering the hearts of single mother's on Facebook," one person joked, while another asked: "Are you trying to lock him up or hook him up?"
If this all sounds a bit familiar, though, it's probably because Mabilia isn't the first suspected criminal to steal his way into steamy fantasies.
Is Jess Mabilia the next Jeremy Meeks?
Professional model Jeremy Meeks (36) also became famous for his mugshot. His full lips and steel-blue ice eyes, combined with his status as a wanted bad boy, had both men and women salivating all over him.
After he was caught and served his sentence, Meeks stepped into the career that he was always been destined to have, as major fashion labels scrambled to offer him contracts.
So Jess Mabilia might as well get his sentence over with – there's plenty waiting for him on the other side of the bars.
