Boy George accused of beating male escort
”As soon as I saw the other guy they were both jumping on me. They held me down and beat me. I could not move. They pulled me down on to the floor and they were sitting on top of me. The other man didn’t beat me he just helped George to hold me down. George was slapping me and beating me and punching me and screaming things…. f****** whore, now you are going to get what you deserve…. I was so scared. I managed to get loose and I started running. He tried to stop me but I ran for the front door. I took a bit of time getting the door open and he had a metal chain that he was hitting me with.”

The two met via GayDar website, and Boy George denies the charges although photos of Carlsen’s injuries were shown in court. (Independent UK)
