Boy George: I didn't really want to hurt him; I didn't really want to make him cry; I just wanted to find out if he borrowed my stuff; so I handcuffed him to my bed and then I beat him with a metal chain

All the sordid details here: Boy George found guilty of false imprisonment for chaining male escort

Boy George is facing jail after being convicted today of handcuffing a male escort to his bed and beating him with a metal chain as he tried to flee after a naked photo shoot. Although the singer, tried under his real name, George O’Dowd, 46, did not give evidence he told police that he had chained Norwegian Audun Carlsen to his bed in his flat in Shoreditch, East London, in April last year while he investigated alleged tampering with his computer...

After calling Mr Carlsen into his bedroom, O’Dowd and another man leapt on him, wrestled him to the floor and started beating him.

He told the court that during the attack O’Dowd was screaming “F****** whore! Now you’re going to get what you deserve”.

He said he was dragged along the floor towards the bed and a manacle was put on his right hand and attached to a hook drilled in the wall.

The second man left and O’Dowd produced a plastic box containing chains, sex toys and leather straps, Snaresbrook Crown court was told.

Mr Carlsen told the court he was then able to use the handcuffs as a tool to unscrew the hook from the wall. He ran to the door with O’Dowd pursuing him, lashing out with a metal chain.

He managed to escape and ran out on to the street in just his underwear screaming for help.

O’Dowd told police: “I asked him to come (back to my flat) because I wanted to find out if this guy had borrowed my stuff."

Whatever, you freak. You lost all credibility when you recorded this (you seriously need to see this video if you haven't already, in full):
