Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort.

The singer told police he invited Carlsen back to his home after a cocaine-fuelled pornographic photo shoot in January, 2007, because he suspected the Norwegian of stealing pictures from his computer.
