Singer-turned-DJ Boy George has been jailed for 15 months for handcuffing a male escort to a wall and beating him with a metal chain.

The former Culture Club frontman imprisoned Audun Carlsen during a drug-fuelled naked photoshoot at his flat in east London.

Sentencing the musician - real name George O'Dowd - the judge at Snaresbrook Crown Court said he was guilty of "gratuitous violence".

Wow.

".... do you really want to hurt me...." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

This is a bizarre individual. Why anyone would associate with him is beyond comprehension. I'm not blaming the victim, but really, what did he expect!
Tammy S. Jan 16, 2009, 5:44pm UTC
Wow. Some people just can't control themselves.
N. L. D. Jan 16, 2009, 5:46pm UTC
That is really sick, but I'll still listen to his cds.

I never did care for him, and he's going down hill more, all the time.

The victim was a rent boy, which doesnt make it ok by any means but i wonder how much he will earn from the papers in the UK for his "Exclusive".
Andrea H. Jan 16, 2009, 6:56pm UTC
very sick!
Kerrell Goolsby Jan 16, 2009, 7:43pm UTC
OH SNAP!
Mike M. Jan 16, 2009, 7:44pm UTC
So with this latest development, which "George" is the safest: Boy, Michael or W?
Jomil M. Jan 16, 2009, 8:18pm UTC
Holy *bleep*storm, Batman! People who live on fishbowls should keep their perversions in their imaginations! I am sorry to see it, but not really surprised.
Ryan M. Jan 16, 2009, 9:22pm UTC
That is a bit crazy.
Cindy B. Jan 16, 2009, 10:25pm UTC

I've always had this weird affinity for Boy George and I'm sorry he's in the fix he's got himself in now. He was wrong nevertheless and now he's got to pay the piper.
