Boy George Sentenced To 15 Months In Jail

thumbnail icon: Boy George Sentenced To 15 Months In Jail

A few years back Boy George was ordered to perform community service with NYC's Dept of Sanitation after police responded to his burglary report (turned out there was no burglar, just a lot of cocaine). Now the former pop star has been found guilty of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a chain. This despite his lawyer's excuse that his client is a "drug-crazed idiot," according to AP. Poor Boy will be sent away for 15 months. Right before the big day, too. This should serve as a lesson to you not to do drugs/handcuff a male escort to a wall and beat him with a chain. Cue "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" joke. [Pic via TMZ.]

Don't be sad George. Your going to a place where that type of behavior between two men is considered The First Date.

You think the escort was singing "do you really want to hurt me?".... Apparently the police weren't privy to Culture Club initiation rituals....
