Boy George Charged With False Imprisonment


The Crabbie Way-Back Machine rewinds to April. Boy George, '80s pop-icon and latter-day stroppy queen, is accused by male escort Auden Carlsen of kidnapping him and chaining him to a wall. George laughs off the accusations. People think Mr. Carlsen is making the whole thing up in a sick grab for publicity.

Well guess what folks - the accusations by Mr. Carlsen were taken seriously by the only ones who matter: the police. And now the police have decided to charge Boy George with false imprisonment, which carries a maximum sentence of life in real prison.

George, who surrendered himself to police yesterday and was bailed, will have to face magistrates next week. Without a big poop-splatter on his head. Hopefully.
