“He shouldn’t be afraid of s+xual a§§ault from other male inmates because our men can give him protection,” the spokesperson stated, addressing worries about his vulnerability.
Bobrisky’s social media activity, including a recent video on Instagram where he posed suggestively, continues to garner attention.
