The Walk Of Shame

Filed under: Anglophilia > Legal Matters > Boy George

fp_992399_barm_boy_george_0.jpg

Boy George hastily exited the Thames Magistrates Court in London on Friday.

The former singer turned DJ appeared on a charge of false imprisonment of a 28-year-old male escort by chaining him to a wall. Yes, really.

George spoke during the minute-long hearing only to confirm his name and date of birth.

How come Amy Winehouse's husband can't remain free on a seemingly less severe charge (witness tampering) but Boy can roam loose?

    Boy George was such a beautiful young man in the 80's. I think it's sad he stopped wearing those pretty flowing dresses and those wigs.

    first, and that's it baby! Boy George sang that song Mistake No. 3, but he's like up to 300. And what about the War Song? Was that fucked up or what? It made his career poop. And then the Crying Game was good but not all that. I liked Time. It made me twirl in my panties. And then I really like Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, cause my boyfriend was hurting me at the time with his well endowed unit. I was only 15 for christ sakes. Now I can an 18 wheeler in there.

    Witness tampering is not a lesser offense. It's fundamentally worse because it can be the downfall of the court system. You can't let cop killers get away, and you can't let people tamper juries. If you do, the downfall of justice will occur.

  25. Ben says – reply to this


    25

    Witness tampering? He attempted to pervert the course of justice, which in the UK is a very serious crime, added to the crime he committed in the first place is why he is not on bail.
    George is out as 'false imprisonment' is not like kidnap and not as serious a crime 'totted up' as Amy Winehouse's husband stands accused.
    If found guilty then Blake Civill will go to prison. No question.

  26. SaySay says – reply to this


    26

    Excuse me Perex…but Amy Winey's husband is a L O S E R and your attempts at kissing up are lame-ass. He should remain in jail because he's a drug enabler/dealer/evidence tampering /wife beating/ menace to society. I'm not saying Boy should run free. All I'm saying is pick a side, and quit your waffling. Amy needs help, as does her husband. Jail is the best thing to happen to him…it keeps him off the drugz 'cuz he can't do it himself..

  27. Cherry Piety says – reply to this

    Because they wisely figured out that locking him up with a bunch of men was probably a bad thing.

    Excuse me, witness tampering is an extremely bad offence, undermining the court system and as a consequence the whole legal system which remains in place to protect us. In addition, the witness he was trying to bribe and get out of the country was witness to a crime where a man was almost BEATEN TO DEATH, by Fielder Civil's friends, possibly even by Fielder Civil himself.
    You should edit your post.

  31. well, doh says – reply to this


    31

    Because the witness Mr.Winehouse tampered with was that in another case he is up for, Grievous Bodily Harm (hitting someone and causing them injury.)

  32. iknowsit says – reply to this


    32

    Because the lovely and charming Mr. Winehouse beat the crap out of someone so badly they needed metal plates to put his face back together. Charming! Then he attempted to bribe the guy to split town — I would also hazard a guess that he doesn't own any property or have any other personal assets save for a crack pipe and a half packet of Silk Cuts. Boy, on the other hand, actually has personal wealth and holdings that tie him to the community. Notwithstanding his accused crime is none too charming — it's not GBH material.

    It saddens me to see what Boy George and George Michael go through…They were such beautiful gay men in the 80s…I felt proud for them…They were like two very different gay role models…Nowadays they have-sadly- a lot more in common…
    the Culture Club stuff is pretty memorable though.

  41. Manuela says – reply to this


    41

    I think he meant why Amy's husband can't be released, yet Boy George has a much more grievous and disturbing charge against him. Shocking.

  42. Manuela says – reply to this


    42

    I didn't mean to mitigate anything criminal. Both should pay. I stand corrected. Neither one is lesser in my opinion, but then I don't know the law. But, in my opinion, witness tampering may be a more grave offense than false imprisonment, although both are worthy of prison time.

    45

    Not only was he tampering with a witness, he was paying off a witness in his own case so it would collapse, which he beat another guy almost to death with a crowbar. I should know- I'm an ex- close mate of Blake's.

    Witness tampering is an extremely serious offence, opnly compounded by the fact that winos husband was originally charged with GBH, the most serious non fatal offence, it can carry life imprisonment.
    You need to edit that post.

  56. redson says – reply to this


    56

    'Witness tamering'….that useless wanker was caught, red-handed perverting the course of justice - for which the maximum term in the UK is life. He had planned for the guy he beat up to be ferried out of the country. His batty wife has also organised a trip to India. Only a complete imbecile (like you obviously) would give that sack of shit bail. Cunt deserves all he gets.

    the justice system here in england is so crap and will always favore the crimminal - you know if i get attacked i have to make such i dont harm the attacker in a bad way of i'll go to prison - same if they break into my house - this country is retarded.x

  58. JeniJen says – reply to this


    58

    You might find perverting the course of justice is treated wayyyyyyyyyyyy more seriously! Mainly because your lying to the court and they fucking hate that!
    False imprisonment is treated on the circumstances. And in Boy Georges circumstance, its unlikely he is a threat to the public (he aint gonna hold anyone hostage at gunpoint anytime soon), therfor he wont be remanded.

    Because George is fairly harmless, the "victim" is just trying to cash in on his celebrity, it is not like he attacked him. Where as Blake is a danger to the public. Witness tampering is very serious and don't forget the actual crime he was trying to get away with. If I had to I'd rather go around George's house than Blakes'.

  63. chad says – reply to this


    63

    Yes, why not let all the people who try to undermine the entire justice system by paying off witnesses to avoid going to prison go free? Especially the junkies and crackheads - they're so sweet and harmless. That's such a little thing, right?

    Wheras people who have consensual kinky sex - lock 'em up & throw away the key!

    Isn't being a complete moron a crime? Why does Perez Hilton continue to roam free? I'm surprised he's not on George's side — he'd love Boy to chain him to a wall.

    jury tampering undermines the credibility of the entire system. It's considered one of the worst offenses because it impacts the validity of the entire justice system.

    You do know that S&M is considered by the British government to be illegal, because apparently "you can't consent to pain", right? The guy could very well have been up for it (considering he was an ESCORT), but say he figured out if was Boy George and decided he had money to be squeezed out of him and reported, Boy George would be in trouble.

    As a gay guy, I really hate gay celebrities. They do more to make us look bad than we ever could ourselves. Between Boy George, George Michael and Lance Bass it is no wonder straight people hate us. Have you ever heard of a STRAIGHT celebrity tying up a male prostitute? Fucking ridiculous.

    74

    Perez, if you think witness tampering (which strikes at the core fundamentals of any democratic judicial system) is far less serious a crime than chaining up some sad man-whore (who was most likely was hired under those pretenses & paid accordingly) than you are as ignorant, if not more so, than everyone has claimed you to be.

    But I love your bitchy, catty ass just the same - kisses!

  75. Seamus75 says – reply to this


    75

    Re: SB – Most likely a STRAIGHT celebrity wouldn't tie up a male wescort - but the sure as hell would and have done worse to female escorts. Get a clue you self hating mo - For the rest of the gay community you are more dangerous than some washed up has been getting his rocks off.

    Miss Winehouse's beau is in the clink on remand because he allegedly bribed witnesses over a very serious crime (very serious assault resulting in a man so badly injured that he barely survived and has needed extensive plastic surgery to repair his face) with which he is also likely to be charged. Mr George probably fell into a drunken stupour and forgot that his call boy was still chained up after their 2-hours' game was up…

    So sad and disgusting how Boy George has turned out. I used to think he was so talented. In the last decade he has just become stranger and more psycho and fatter than ever. Wearing that bizarre makeup when he was doing that broadway show with Rosie …it looks like his makeup artist was on crack or Meth. Now with chaining up a male escort because he is such a fat cow now no one wants him that he has to resort to desparate measure. I say lock him up and throw away the key!
