Not in reality, but in social expectation it's a big deal. Picture a child molester. Media tells us that's going to look like a very unfortunate looking middle aged white dude (balding, chubby, slumped over, etc). When it does happen to coincide with that, the stereotype gets reinforced.Not my intention to glorify no one, being pretty doesn't have anything to do with being or not being a piece of trash.
And a slightly different but related point, attractive people get massive leeway when it comes to making mistakes and committing crimes. It sucks. It's not fair. But it's true.
That's one reason people get offended when you mention how attractive someone accused of a crime is. It's an irrelevant comment on the basic level (it doesn't relate to their behavior). But on a deeper and more real level, it's discussing a mitigating factor of the future judgement.
