Eighties pop star Boy George handcuffed a male model to a hook on his bedroom wall after he took naked photographs of the man, a London court has heard.The jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London was told at the start of the trial on Monday (24Nov08) how the former Culture Club frontman lured Audun Carlsen to the bedroom of his home in east London, where another man was waiting.

While he was unable to get loose, he managed to wrench the hook free

Carlsen was bundled to the floor before George slipped one end of a pair of handcuffs over his right wrist, it was claimed. The Karma Chameleon hitmaker then allegedly attached the other end to a hook on the wall, but after a brief struggle Carlsen managed to escape.The jury heard that the singer and DJ - real name George O'Dowd - had fallen out with Norwegian Carlsen earlier after taking photos of him in a series of erotic poses.Prosecutor Heather Norton said George first hired Carlsen, who advertised as a male escort on the Gaydar website, in January 2007.He took naked pictures of the model, but the pair reportedly fell out when George accused Carlsen of tampering with his computer.
