The internet's newest crush? A man accused of attacking a guy dressed up like a Fox News reporter

Jeremy Meeks who? The internet is lusting after a new jailbird: Sean Kory, a 29-year-old who police say attacked a man dressed up as a Fox News reporter on Halloween while yelling, "I hate Fox News!"

The altercation took place during Santa Cruz, California's annual Halloween parade. Kory was dressed as a female tennis player, and police say that after taking the victim's fake microphone, he "placed it in front of his pants and proceeded to rub it on his crotch." He then began to beat the man with an aluminum tennis racket.

The victim was not seriously hurt, and was able to find officers and tell them what happened. The authorities quickly apprehended Kory as he tried to escape, and once his booking photo was released, another star was born. He does bear a striking resemblance to the last Hot Mug Shot Guy, so maybe they can join forces for something other than beating up a faux Bill O'Reilly.
