Sorry, but it’s too late. The “sexy mugshot,” originally popularized by Jeremy Meeks — arrested during a gun sweep in Stockton — is back, courtesy of a man who attacked another man on Halloween.

KTLA 5 reports that the victim was targeted for dressing as a Fox News reporter:
During the alleged attack, 29-year-old Sean Kory of Santa Cruz told the victim that he “hates Fox News,” according to a police statement.
…
Kory “grabbed the victim’s microphone and placed [it] down the front of his pants and proceeded to rub the microphone on his crotch,” the statement said.
The suspect then allegedly attacked the victim, whose name was not released, with an aluminum tennis racquet.
CNN … Stop it. "Internet lusts after new mugshot guy" http://t.co/p0ZqjjzaqA

@YahooNews @stableford Why are you glorifying a criminal? Anything anti-Fox News is considered newsworthy? #WhatTwistedWorldWeLiveIn

@SeanKory the fact that you are on the news for beating someone up and then being praised for your looks … Just shows the world we live in
