Boy George Gets 15 Months

Boy George just has been sentenced to 15 months behind bars for chaining up a male escort in his London apartment.

A British judge handed down the sentence this morning following BG's conviction of falsely imprisoning Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian escort whom he had met on the Internet. The judge called Boy's bondage -- in which he handcuffed Carlsen to a wall hook in Boy's flat -- "premeditated," "callous" and "degrading".

In the last four years, George has been convicted of drug charges and being a "nuisance" to cops.

16. It was definitely wrong what took place, but the sentence is too harsh. I pray that George gets himself together. He has always had genuine talent. Unfortunately, this just shows you money and fame doesn't fix what's eating a person on the inside. Stay strong, George!

17. One year will probobly equal about 6 months of actual time. Or something like that.

19. I liked Boy George when I was younger. he was in love with one of his band members that wouldn't come out of the closet they had a relationship but the other dude was married and wouldn't leave his wife or admit that he had feelings for Boy George so maybe that's why he has freaky habitts

22. Boy George will love prison life. He gets to drop the soap in the shower and can wear make up and be Bubbas prison "girlfriend".

24. #8 You obviously dont know much about jail. He will be able to get drugs. Maybe if he was in rehab he would get the help he needs to overcome his issues. If you are whoring yourself out on the internet as a gay escort, you have an idea of what you are in for. Im sure he was more than willing to show up at George's house, get kinky and do drugs. I think the amount of jail time is too harsh.

25. Pitiful.. its too bad when a once-great recording star has to pay escorts money to become fantasies... just to satisfy a sexual problem he definitely has!

26. BUSTER....is something wrong with you?
Did you really say "this is what happens when you give drugs to a retard?" You're actually calling him a "retard?"
I didn't realize that this forum was open to 12 year old little boys. Shameful using the word retard to mock him.
Ever stop to consider how demeaning and offensive that word might be to people with special needs? I didn't think so.
