‘90 Day Fiance’ Ben Rathbun Arrested, Shocking Details
90 Day Fiance alum, Ben Rathbun has been arrested once again, and many shocking details accompany it. So, what happened this time and is he still with his much younger lady, Mahogany Roca? Keep reading for all that transpired and to find out if he is still locked up.
Ben Rathbun Arrested In Shocking Situation
When viewers first met Ben Rathbun, they were shocked that he was giving up his whole life for a twenty-three-year-old from Peru. Her name was Mahogany Roca and she was thirty years his junior but he felt she was his soul mate. Their journey played out on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days but it was anything but easy. She was uncomfortable with him since they had never met in person so when he flew to Peru, she brought her parents along. Mahogany showed up and clearly had not been completely honest with Ben. She had heavily filtered her photos and looked quite different.
Still, he liked her but there was too much back and forth but he was relentless. She played games and ghosted him but they did end up reuniting and having a great time. Ben did lose his job over this and was eventually arrested for OUI. Then, he was arrested for violating his probation. He has since been with Mahogany in Peru and as of February 2024, the two are married. Unfortunately, things just came to a screeching halt as he has been arrested, according to @shabooty.

So, what were the charges? Ben Rathbun was arrested for felony embezzlement to the tune of $1K to $20K from a charitable organization. That organization happened to be the Michigan Lupus Foundation where he had been employed and later fired. He is also being charged for nonpayment of child support. Allegedly, he was hiding out in Peru with his wife therefore it took years for him to be caught. It was not until he returned to the States that he was caught after his passport was flagged.
Held On Bond
The former 90 Day Fiance star is currently being held on a $10K bond for embezzlement plus more for his unpaid child support. In his mugshot, Ben Rathbun looks visibly different as he no longer has his shorn dirty blond locks. They have since grown into a ponytail and he was smiling this time around as opposed to his past photos where he looked disheveled. Were followers shocked? Nope:
-
Wow, he was doing anything to get money except work.
- No wonder there haven’t been any lupus walks in Michigan. He stole all their money. Thanks for the 🫖 🍵🤣😂😆
- Wasn’t he a supposed ‘fitness model’ ? 🤔 when they did an update on them, I remember they looked really strung out on drugs
- Lord this man just keeps sinking to new lows.
Mahogany is allegedly not happy about this new revelation and no one in his family wants to speak to his new wife:
“He’s still with Mahogany and apparently she was distraught over this latest arrest. But no one in his family is willing to talk to her except one of Ben’s daughters.”
No word if he made bail but this does not look good for Pastor Ben. Are you shocked by any of this or does this track with his past actions? Let us know in the comments below.
