      Wait what? Why did Boy George beat up an escort?

      Edit: I’m sorry…IMPRISONED and beat up

      Edit 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_George#Drug_abuse_and_legal_troubles

      On 5 December 2008, Boy George was convicted in Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, of the April 2007 assault and false imprisonment of Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian model and male escort, who initially stood for a photography session with Boy George. Carlsen alleged that he had been handcuffed to a wall fixture and beaten with a metal chain during their next meeting. Boy George maintained that only the handcuffing was true and that he never beat Carlsen.[112][113][114] Defence counsel presented the effects of his long-term drug use as a mitigating factor.[115] On 16 January 2009, Boy George was sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment for these offences.[116] He was initially incarcerated at HM Prison Pentonville in London, but was then transferred to HM Prison Highpoint North in Suffolk. He was given early release after four months on 11 May 2009. He was required to wear an ankle monitor and submit to a curfew for the remainder of his sentence.[117]

        Ugh. Didn’t know he only served 4 months. Hope that rat bastard has to register as some kind of offender.
