Now, let me get this straight. Boy George allegedly picked up a male prostitute, who accepted money to go “back to his London flat to pose for photographs” but expected nothing but a few flashbulbs for his time and troubles. Incidentally, English law does not prohibit prostitution but suggests penalties for solicitation of and by prostitutes in public places. In other words, no one wants to hear about it, but we cannot help ourselves but listen anyway.

Still, 28-year old Norwegian escort Auden Carlsen was pleased to accompany Boy George and his one-man posse back to the love den. Carlsen was aghast upon being chained to a wall. Several months later, George has formally been charged with false imprisonment and quickly let out on bail. George’s brother, Kevin O’Dowd, has stated that George finds the male escort’s allegations quite “hilarious,” which tells us only that George is chronically high and suffers from lack of judgment. Certainly, George never realized until it was too late that he’d once invited the NYPD over to his Manhattan apartment to check out his cocaine stash. George is also quite well-known in his Manhattan neighborhood for his sexual deviance, and Popbitch supplies this relevant gem:

If George’s New York neighbours are to be believed, [Auden] Carlsen is not the first escort he’s picked up for this purpose. One tells us that George often brought young chaps back to his apartment for a session with whips and chains. The neighbour regularly resorted to banging on the walls and shouting, “Can you just finish him off quietly, for Christ’s sake!”

For the moment, this fabulous party is over. On November 22, George will visit Thames Magistrate Court (Pete Doherty’s favourite hall of justice) to be tried under these “hilarious” allegations. In conclusion, Boy George + money + escort + camera = whips and chains.
