America’s ‘hot convict’ Jeremy Meeks has some stiff competition – in the form of one Sean Kory.
Dreadlocked, green-eyed Kory was arrested on Halloween for allegedly assaulting a partygoer who had dressed up as a Fox News reporter at an event in Santa Cruz.
Kory is said to have shrieked: “I hate Fox News”, grabbed the victim’s prop microphone and made an obscene gesture with it, before attacking he or she with an aluminium tennis racket, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
