Boy George

Handcuffing a male escort to a radiator against his will apparently isn't really that big of a deal after all.

Boy George, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison in January for falsely imprisoning a male escort in his London apartment, was released from jail early today due to good behavior.

Looks like George managed to escape the Karma Chameleon this time.

It's the British court system's turn to hurt Boy George and make him cry.

The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was convicted last month of falsely imprisoning a male escort in his London apartment. Today, he was sentenced to 15 months in jail. George has been convicted of other crimes in the past, but was given community service instead of jail time.

We can finally answer the question! Yes, he really DID want to hurt you, he really DID want to make you cry.

Boy George, 46, has been convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort.

Audun Carlsen, 29, claimed the former Culture Club frontman handcuffed him and beat him with a metal chain during their…er…time together. While George protested it was because he suspected the man of tampering with his computer, the jury sided with Carlsen. The singer has been released on bail until his January 16th sentencing.

Boy George, aka George O'Dowd, arrived in court today in London to stand trial on accusations that he assaulted and falsely imprisoned a male escort named Audun Carlsenin in April of last year by chaining him to the wall of his home.

The pop singer, 46, who became famous in the 80s with Culture Club, was last seen in court in Manhattan in 2006 on charges of cocaine possession. He was found guilty and ordered to perform community service by picking up trash around New York.
