Boy George Escort Scandal - Do you really want to hurt me, do you really want to make me cry? Former Culture Club singer Boy George has been charged with false imprisonment after allegedly chaining a male escort to the wall of his London flat. According to the Guardian, Scotland Yard said the 47-year-old singer and DJ has been charged over an incident at his flat in Shoreditch, east London.

Boy George Charged With False Imprisonment

"George O'Dowd, 47, a musician of Ravey Street, EC2, is charged with the false imprisonment of a 28-year-old in Ravey Street on Apr. 28," Scotland Yard said in a statement. "He has been bailed to return before Thames Magistrates Court on Nov. 22."


The Norwegian-born model told the UK Sun that he hooked up with George via a U.K. personals Website called Gaydar and that he had agreed to go to the singer's home at midnight to serve as a model, and nothing more, for 400 pounds (about $800 US). Carlsen said he posed for several erotic photographs snapped by the singer. Then an unidentified man handcuffed the model to a hook on the wall in George's bedroom, Carlsen claimed, and the singer proceeded to break open a box of whips and other S&M toys.

The model said he feared he was going to die but that later he managed to wrangle free by pulling the hook out of the wall. He fled the residence and alerted police at about 6:30 the next morning.
