Boy George cuffed escort
SHAMED pop legend Boy George has today been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort.
Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, said the baldy musician beat him with a metal chain as he tried to escape from his flat after a naked photo shoot.
A jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court found the 46-year-old ex Culture Club star – tried under his real name George O’Dowd – guilty.
The star did not give evidence but the court heard he told cops he handcuffed Mr Carlsen to his bed at his flat in Shoreditch, east London.
It happened on April 28 last year while O'Dowd investigated alleged tampering with his computer.
The singer had accused Mr Carlsen of obtaining photos of himself from his laptop, taken by the singer when the pair met three months earlier.
He told cops he did not punch or assault Mr Carlsen or swung a chain at him as the escort fled the flat.
Instead he suggested the bruises Mr Carlsen got could have been because he was HIV positive.
The defence claimed the dispute was over whether Mr Carlsen had stolen photos and, in doing that, “messed up” O’Dowd’s computer.
The suggestion it was because Mr Carlsen refused to have sex with O’Dowd on the previous occasion was “entire fantasy or a lie”, the defence said.
Mr Carlsen told the court O’Dowd concocted the story about computer tampering so he could punish him for not having sex during the first meeting.
He said: “I think he couldn’t handle the refusal - me not having sex with him.”
A shamed pop star. Is there any other kind?
