\u201cEvery saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.\u201d That\u2019s how one commenter succinctly put it when Jeremy Meeks \u2014 best known as the \u201chot felon\u201d and variations thereof \u2014 recently posted sweet Christmas photos of himself and his family to Instagram.<\/p>\n
Meeks has come a long way since his mugshot went viral after he was arrested in June 2014 on weapons charges, according to the New York Post<\/em>. The 32-year-old\u2019s chiseled features and red-hot gaze had legions of Internet users transfixed \u2014 and even prompted women to ask to be \u201clocked up with him,\u201d says the publication. But good looks get you nowhere in the legal system, as Meeks learned upon being charged with \u201cfive weapons offenses and two counts relating to gang membership,\u201d according to the Daily Mail. <\/em>The California native served a 27-week prison sentence and was released in March 2016.<\/p>\n\n
