Boy George Arrested For Keeping A Dude On A Hook

George was nabbed by authorities yesterday in London for the Rick Jamesian crime of imprisoning a gentleman against his will for purposes that probably can’t be discussed in polite society. Let’s see what the BBC has to say: “Singer and DJ Boy George has been charged with the false imprisonment of a 28-year-old man, police have said. The offence is alleged to have taken place at the 47-year-old’s home in Ravey Street, Hackney, east London on 28 April.” Pretty dry. But U.K. tabloid The Sun come through in a purple prose pinch, as per usual.

Auden Karlsen, 28, claimed he was a prisoner at the singer’s flat – as The Sun exclusively revealed in April.

Norwegian Auden said he met George on website Gaydar, but only went to the apartment as a photographic model.

He said George and another man pounced after taking a few snaps.

The ’80s idol allegedly produced whips and sex toys and told terrified Auden: “Now you’ll get what you deserve.”

The escort said he escaped after wrenching a hook out of the wall in Shoreditch, East London.

Auden said at the time: “I was convinced I was going to die.”

George is set to appear in court November 22 to explain how this poor fellow he met on a personals website for the purposes of “photographic modelling” ended up strung up and prodded in his basement. Mr. T had yet to be reached for comment.
