George Kidnapper? |
E! reports: Did he really want to hurt him?
Boy George was arrested on suspicion of assault and wrongful imprisonment
early Saturday morning after his latest muse filed a complaint against
him, according to Scotland Yard.
Auden Carlsen, 28, told Britain's Sun tabloid
that he "was convinced [he] was going to die" at George's East London home,
where the former Culture Club frontman had supposedly invited Carlsen to
pose for some photographs.
...After George took photos of Carlsen
in some erotic getups, the amateur shutterbug and an unidentified man handcuffed
him to a hook on the wall in a bedroom and then, after the second guy left,
George whipped out a box of, er, whips and other kinky items, Carlsen related.[see
