Jeremy Meeks | From Criminal to Model

Jeremy Meeks revolucionó las redes sociales cuando, en apenas dos días, la foto que la policía de Stockton colgó en su página oficial de Facebook superó los 80.000 ''me gusta'' y tuvo más de 20.000 comentarios, que bautizaban a Meeks como ''el criminal más sexy del mundo''.

Este californiano, que había pertenecido a una banda criminal y pasó varios años en la cárcel por robo, afirma que, ahora que tiene 30 años y un hijo de 4, ha dejado atrás su pasado y se dedica a trabajar para mantener a su familia.

Gina Rodríguez (Blaze Models) será su representante, la cual le ha ofrecido un contrato de 30.000 dólares a Meeks. Cantidad insuficiente para pagar la fianza de 1.100.000 dólares que Jeremy tiene que afrontar para poder salir en libertad.

¿Qué os parece esta noticia? ¿Hasta qué punto os parece ético? ¿Creéis que todo el mundo se merece una segunda oportunidad o por el contrario pensáis que es injusto que se le ''premie'' así teniendo en cuanto su pasado?

Jeremy Meeks has been a huge revolution within the social networks due to a picture that the Stockton Police Station uploaded to its Facebook page. In two days, his picture had more than 80,000 ''likes'' and more than 20,000 comments, baptising him as ''the sexiest criminal on earth''.

This Californian man, who had belonged to a criminal band and spent several years in prison due to robbery, states that, now that he is 30 and has a 4-year-old boy, has left his past behind and his only purpose is to maintain his family.

Gina Rodríguez (Blaze Models) will be his agent. She has offered Jeremy a 30,000 dollar contract, a quantity still far away from the 1,100,000 dollars that Meeks has to pay as bail in order to get released.

What do you think about this news? To which extent is ethical? Do you think everybody deserves a second chance or, on the contrary, do you think that is unfair such a ''reward'' taking his past into account?
