What is it about criminality that makes young but handsome felons attractive to women and gays that the mug shots of these pretty boys with a dark past end up being viral on social media?

Jeremey Meeks, despite his criminal records, was offered a five-digit modeling contract and a starring role in a porn movie when the Stockton Police published his mug shot and it became viral in June 2013.

Meeks' reign has apparently ended because the newest toast of social media is 29-year-old Sean Kory who was arrested over the weekend for allegedly attacking another male at Santa Cruz, California's yearly Halloween parade.

The New York Post reports that Kory, who has light brown dreadlocks and green eyes, hit with an aluminium tennis racquet a man dressed like a Fox News reporter, while shouting, "I hate Fox News."

Kory initially grabbed the victim's microphone and rubbed his crotch with it and then hit the poor guy with the racquet.

Both handsome felons now share the hashtag #FelonCrushFriday.

The Daily Beast describes the newest bad boy as like a cross between actor Jason Momoa who plays the character of Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones and the space intruder from Alien: Resurrection.
