21 Famous People Who Got Away With Serious Crimes

For about as long as some people have been better-known than others, fame and fortune have functioned as de facto “get out of jail free” cards. Even leaving aside the bribery and connections, it’s a simple fact that nobody wants to be the one who put Captain America or Ms. Rachel in handcuffs. (Not that Chris Evans or Rachel Accurso have ever done anything illegal to our knowledge, but see? We don’t even wanna suggest it.)

That means celebrities who aren’t actually the role models they pretend to be can get away with some pretty heinous shit. Maybe it was a pre-fame youthful indiscretion, maybe it was a post-fame palm-greasing, but it proves that they’re the real untouchables.
