Gay pop star Boy George is defending himself in court this week against a claim he imprisoned a male escort in his flat. Chain male: Boy George The singer and DJ was arrested last year after Auden Carlsen alleged George and another man had grabbed him and chained him to a wall in the star's East London home. Boy George – real name George O'Dowd – has told the court Carlson, who was a sex worker at the time, had wanted to be placed in handcuffs. Calsen told the court that the later singer beat him with a chain because he had refused to have sex with him. O'Dowd's lawyer claims Carlsen's version of events has been exaggerated. "You have lied to the police," he put to him in court. "You have tried to make this story sound more exciting. You have added details and you have sold your story to the press and have every intention of doing so again." Find more on this story on the links below.
