Androgynous pop music idol George O’Dowd aka Boy George was convicted today in London for false imprisonment of a Norweigian male escort named Auden Carlsen. O’Dowd admitted handcuffing Carlsen, but claimed it was because the escort had hacked into a laptop and stolen sensitive photographs.
Carlsen told a different story—he claimed that after participating in an erotic photo shoot, he briefly performed oral sex on O’Dowd, but refused to go further because he didn’t find the former pop star physically attractive. O’Dowd then became angry and bound Carlsen. Somehow, the escort extricated himself and fled into the street wearing only his underwear, but not before O’Dowd went fully medieval and beat him with a chain.
O’Dowd’s lawyers, in a novel defense, claimed their client was simply too fat to overpower someone as physically fit as the 29-year old escort. They claimed Carlson consented to being restrained while O’Dowd satisfied himself that no photos were missing. But a jury didn’t buy it. They decided O’Dowd really did want to hurt the escort. He’ll be sentenced in January.
