Auden Carlsen, a 28-year-old Norwegian gay escort, met Boy George, 45, on the Gaydar dating website and was invited over to the, ahem, Boy’s house in Shoreditch, London, to pose for photographs for £400. Carlsen went over at midnight Saturday and one thing led to another, as it commonly will in these situations, and the young man found himself – wearing only briefs and a T-shirt – suddenly overpowered by George and another man, handcuffed and chained to a hook in the wall, and confronted by, one can only suppose, Boy George in a heightened state of sexual arousal holding a box of whips and sex toys. “Now you’ll get what you deserve,” George is said to have said, possibly adding “and your little dog too.” “I was convinced I was going to die,” young Auden told authorities after he wrenched the hook out of the wall at 6:30 AM Sunday and escaped in his underwear to a nearby newsstand to call the police.
