Boy George found guilty of false imprisonment for chaining male escort
Times Online ^ | December 5, 2008 | Adam Fresco, Crime Correspondent

Boy George is facing jail after being convicted today of handcuffing a male escort to his bed and beating him with a metal chain as he tried to flee after a naked photo shoot.

Although the singer, tried under his real name, George O’Dowd, 46, did not give evidence he told police that he had chained Norwegian Audun Carlsen to his bed in his flat in Shoreditch, East London, in April last year while he investigated alleged tampering with his computer.

(Carl Court/PA)

Boy George claimed that he chained up the Norwegian because he believed the escort has broken into his computer

The pair first met in April last year through a social networking site primarily for gay and bisexual men and even though O’Dowd suspected Mr Carlsen had hacked into his computer they parted on good terms. The singer paid the younger man £300 of the £400 they had agreed.

...

He denied to police that he punched or assaulted Mr Carlsen or swung a chain at him as the escort fled the flat and suggested the bruises Mr Carlsen sustained could have been due to the fact that he was HIV positive.

...

The defence claimed that the dispute was over whether Mr Carlsen had stolen photographs and 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 case was adjourned for sentence on January 16.

What a freak show. Chaining aids infected homosexual prostitutes to your bed is no way to go thru life.

Welcome to the O’Dowd residence. Chains required. Whips optional.

Yeah, but if he hadn't, the guy might have got away.
