Boy George Admits To Handcuffing Escort

LONDON — Singer Boy George admits in a recording played in a London court that he restrained a male escort with handcuffs.

But the former Culture Club singer says he had no intention of hurting the man. He also denies he tried to assault the escort or that he swung a chain at him.

The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, is on trial for the false imprisonment of 29-year-old Audun Carlsen.

O'Dowd says in a police recording played Monday that he asked Carlsen to come to his apartment. O'Dowd says he wanted to ask Carlsen if he had tampered with his laptop.

The '80s pop icon has a history of drug abuse and served a community service sentence in 2006 in the United States after falsely reporting a burglary.

He's a pretty decent singer, but the man scares me. I sure wouldn't go home with him.

Someone needs to teach Georgie Boy the meaning of the word CONSENSUAL.

With a bat, perhaps.

I've heard of dead careers being boosted with any kind of publicity, but only the S & M crowd will buy the next album !

Yeah, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Dana Rohrabacher, WHat's-his-name the used car salesman, John Doolittle (There's an apt name, unless you count corruption as doing something), Brian Bilbray and last but not least, number three on the corruption charts, that intellectual giant: Duncan Hunter. Yup, the Boy would fit right in.
