Boy George arrested for assaulting gay escort

80s popstar Boy George (whose real name is George O'Dowd) has been arrested in charges of assault and false imprisonment in London after a male escort told police he was grabbed and chained to a wall in the singer's apartment. The escort told a British newspaper he was invited to O'Dowd's home after meeting on a gay website and agreed to pose for photos in kinky outfits for $890. O'Dowd and another man are accused of jumping the man and handcuffing him to a hook, and after the second man left, O'Dowd allegedly brought out sex toys and whips and told the escort, "Now you'll get what you deserve." The man said he was able to yank the hook out of the wall and ran to the nearest newsstand to call the cops dressed in underwear and a T-shirt. "I was convinced I was going to die," the man told a British paper. O'Dowd has been released on bail.
