Boy George Convicted of False Imprisonment
OJ isn’t the only celebrity badguy facing the long arm of justice today. George O’Dowd, aka Boy George, was convicted of chaining a gay man up in his London apartment while he investigated a supposed case of “computer crime” of the gay dude deleting porn from his computer.

A jury convicted pop singer Boy George Friday of falsely imprisoning a male escort.
Norwegian Audun Carlsen was restrained with handcuffs by the musician at the singer’s London apartment and O’Dowd was swinging a metal chain at him as he fled the singer’s flat after a naked photo shoot on April 28, 2007.
Boy George was found guilty of false imprisonment. He was said he didn’t mean to hurt the escort he handcuffed in his London apartment in 2007. In the end, the jury couldn’t look past photos of wounds on the escort’s body.
Boy George handcuffed Carlsen while he investigated alleged tampering with his home computer. The singer said he believed Carlsen had removed photos of himself that were taken by the singer when the two met previously.
Jurors saw photos of welts on Carlsen’s head and injuries to his arm. He is due to be sentenced Jan. 16.
So they are putting a gay man in prison. I guess it will be just like his regular life, but without the makeup and champagne.
Yeah, he’ll be somebody’s bitch getting his salad tossed and he’ll like it. I can’t believe I once listened to his music. YIKES – he is scary
“I’ll tumble 4 ya! I’ll tumble 4 ya.”
This poor man has been victimized for years, just like Obama, only because he’s poor and Irish.
O, my heart goes out to this absolutely fab victim of a heartless justice system. It’s like a Greek tragedy.
A greek tragedy with glitter and butter.
