The popular frontman of Culture Club, Boy George, appeared yesterday in a London court after he had been charged with the false imprisonment of a male escort.
Dressed in a black jacket and shirt, the singer had to fight through a huge media scrum after a minute-long hearing during which he had spoken only for confirming his name and date of birth.
The 46-years-old singer was released on bail and had also to promise that he wouldn’t contact the alleged victim.
The alleged offence was said to have taken place at the singer’s home in east London in April 2007 and the prosecutor Nicholas Paul told the court that the case centered on an “allegation of false imprisonment”, but he did not provide other details about the incident.
Boy George did not enter a plea and he was scheduled to appear again at Snarebrook Crown Court on February 25, 2008. When he left the court, he was surrounded by reporters and photographers, because of whom it took six burly policemen to force a way through the crowd to the singer’s car.
However, Boy George did not make any comment outside the court.
