Boy George
Charged With False Imprisonment

Boy George was charged Tuesday with falsely imprisoning a 28-year-old man, British police said.

The 46-year-old former Culture Club frontman, whose real name is George O'Dowd, has been ordered to appear before a court November 22.

A message was left with O'Dowd's spokesman seeking comment.

The Sun newspaper reported in April that a Norwegian man, Auden Karlsen, claimed he was chained and threatened at O'Dowd's London flat, where he had gone as a photo model. (AP)
