The male prostitute, Auden Carlsen, 28, who says he was just at George’s place for “pictures�
Is it wrong of me to be incredibly amused by this story? Grumpy former gender-bending pop star Boy George called a male prostitute he found online to come over to his apartment at midnight and “pose for pictures� at a rate of almost $800 USD.George and another man were there and did take some pictures of him in fetish gear. Afterwards they handcuffed the strapping 28 year-old Norweigan escort to a hook on the wall. The other guy left George alone with the terrified prostitute, who claims that George took out a box of whips and sex toys and snarled “Now you’ll get what you deserve.�

The escort pulled the hook out of the wall, escaped and called the cops. I wonder if he fled into the night wearing just his t-shirt and underwear or if he was naked? This story is woefully incomplete:

Carlsen revealed he met George on the Gaydar website, but only agreed to go to his flat at midnight as a £400 photographic model and not as an escort.

The ex-Culture Club star took pictures of him in kinky gear.

Carlsen said: “George said he was popping out for milk at 5am. I heard him come back and I walked into his bedroom wearing just my white underpants and a T-shirt. I was jumped on by George and another man.

“George handcuffed me to a hook by the bed as they held me down.�

He said George got rid of the blond man then produced a box of whips and sex toys — telling him: “Now you’ll get what you deserve.�

Carlsen pulled the hook from the wall and fled — then alerted the police from a nearby newsagent’s at 6.30am on Saturday.

George — real name George O’Dowd — was taken to a police station.

Boy George was questioned by police for false imprisonment and was released on bail.

Last year he did a week’s worth of community service in NY after cops found cocaine in his apartment when they were called to respond to a robbery. I doubt anything will come of this latest situation. Given my limited knowledge of the British justice system, which is almost entirely based on Pete Doherty’s multiple run-ins with the law, they’re a bit more lax than the states.
