Prison for Boy George
Tue 20th Jan, 2009 in International News
Former – œ80s star Boy George is set to spend 15 months in the big house, after being found guilty of the “callous and humiliating” handcuffing of a Norwegian male escort. The sentence was handed down at Snarebrook crown court in East London.
According to The Guardian, the man’s barrister noted the “sordid and salacious” depths his client had sunk to as a result of living in a “world of paranoia”. The details of how escort Audun Carlsen was “falsely imprisoned” and beaten by Boy George back in April 2007 are indeed sordid. For a blow-by-blow (ahem) account of how the story unfolded – Oral sex! Cocaine! Handcuffs! – head HERE.
“George is on the road to recovery. I sincerely hope this sentence does not knock him back,” the singer’s solicitor told media after the hearing.
