The now-viral photograph sparked outrage, as an X user commented: “‘Can someone cut him out?’ How about just don’t take yourgymselfie in the locker room.
“This is illegal and distasteful.”
Another person wrote: “Hope the guy presses charges.”
Someone else added: “This dude is a clown and should be banned from thegym.”

“The bar was packed shoulder to shoulder.”
“Trying to get through the crowd to my friends, I walked passed [sic] a group of young women.
“Not paying attention, I felt someone grab my chest.
“Thinking WTF I looked over to see one of the young women grabbing me saying, ‘Nice muscles, but how big’s your d*ck?’
“Before I could even say a word to her she reached down andgrabbed my crotch.
“I froze and just stared at her.
“I was literally speechless.
“I didn’t know what to do.
“If that was a man I would have immediately hit him and defended myself, but I would never hit a woman.”
