By the late 1980s, Boy George had been struggling with heroin addiction for several years. He attempted to perform concerts while under its influence. Addictions to other drugs soon followed. … On 5 December 2008, Boy George was convicted in Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, of the April 2007 assault and false imprisonment of Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian model and male escort, who initially stood for a photography session with Boy George. Carlsen alleged that he had been handcuffed to a wall fixture and beaten with a metal chain during their next meeting. Boy George maintained that only the handcuffing was true and that he never beat Carlsen. Defence counsel presented the effects of his long-term drug use as a mitigating factor
