Boy George Jailed for 15 months
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Karma caught up with former Culture Club singer Boy George on Friday when a court sentenced the star to 15 months for falsely imprisoning a male escort, a court spokeswoman said.
George O'Dowd, also known as Boy George, arrives at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London.
Full details of the sentence weren't immediately clear.
A jury unanimously found the pop star and DJ, whose real name is George O'Dowd, guilty of the charge last month after a seven-day trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in northeast London.
The jury determined O'Dowd, 47, had chained male escort Audun Carlsen to a wall at his apartment in London's hip Shoreditch neighborhood. Carlsen had also said the singer beat him with a metal chain. Watch as Boy George arrives at court »
O'Dowd, who maintained his innocence, came to court Friday sporting a multicolored tattoo on his bald head, none of his trademark makeup, and a black winter coat.
The star quit Culture Club in 1987 after a string of hits with the group, including "Karma Chameleon," "Do you really want to hurt me?" and "Church of the Poison Mind."

I remember watching something on VH-1 about him. I think he said something like most of the songs he wrote were about his relationship with his drummer.

Yep. He and Jon Moss had a tempestuous relationship, to say the least. "Victims" probably sums it up best. Moss is now married to one of the Bananarama gals, I think?

I think so. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Jon!!
(ps: after watching the Culture Club Behind the Music around 500 times, I decided that Jon looked like a good friend of the ex's who I've always had a crush on. I would never ever tell him that unless I wanted to piss him off [which I might because he's been a dick our last couple interactions] since he's been mistaken for gay before.)
