Boy George chained up and beat escort

Pop star Boy George handcuffed a male escort to the wall and beat him with a metal chain as he tried to flee from a naked photo shoot, a London court heard on Monday.
The singer and disc jockey - being tried under his real name George O'Dowd -- chained up Audun Carlsen on April 28 last year, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told at the start of his trial on assault and false imprisonment charges.
O'Dowd, 47, screamed "w..(explicit)" as he and another man pinned the 29-year-old Norwegian to the floor in his east London home, the court heard.
Carlsen met the singer on the Gaydar website and agreed to visit his house to pose naked for a photo shoot.
They took cocaine together and O'Dowd performed a sex act on Carlsen. The star briefly suspected Carlsen had done something to his laptop but the pair parted on good terms.
However, in the following weeks, O'Dowd sent him a string of emails accusing him of hacking into his computer and also accused the escort of ignoring him, the court heard. [ AFP ]

Culture Club frontman Boy George faces trial on kinky sex charges

Boy George was ordered Thursday to stand trial after a Norwegian man claimed the singer handcuffed him to a bed and threatened him with sex toys. The former Culture Club frontman, whose real name is George O'Dowd, appeared in a London court, charged with false imprisonment.
The aging British pop star posted bail and bolted from the courthouse refusing to answer questions from a horde of reporters. Prosecutor Nicholas Paul shed little light on the allegations, except to say they centered on an event that occurred April 28 in Boy George's east London flat.
The alleged victim, Auden Karlsen, claims he and Boy George met on the Web site Gaydar and he agreed to go to the entertainer's apartment to pose for photos in exchange for about $840.
Karlsen claims the Karma Chameleon singer and an unidentified man changed into sadistic creeps and held him captive.
