 Boy George nie avoir séquestré un homme 

Boy George a nié avoir séquestré un homme de 28 ans à sa résidence l'an dernier. Jeudi, l'ancien chanteur de Culture Club a plaidé non coupable à des accusations de séquestration lors d'une audience du tribunal qui a eu lieu à Londres.

Audun Carlsen, un homme d'origine norvégienne, prétend que Boy George l'a menotté après qu'il se soit rendu à l'appartement londonien du chanteur. Il s'y rendait pour travailler comme mannequin pour une séance de photos. L'incident serait survenu en avril dernier.

Boy George est apparu à la Cours sous son vrai nom qui est George O'Dowd. L'artiste de 46 ans est libre sous caution. Son procès aura lieu le 24 novembre 2008.

Singer Boy George has pleaded not guilty to a charge of false imprisonment.

The pop-star and DJ appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London, accused of assaulting and imprisoning a male escort on April 28 last year.

It is claimed he chained escort Audun Carlsen to the wall of his home in Ravey Street, Shoreditch, east London.

The 46-year-old, who shot to fame in the 1980s with Culture Club, stood outside the court and smoked a cigarette before entering the building.

Dressed in black and wearing dark glasses, the singer was listed in court under his real name George O'Dowd.

During the 20-minute hearing, O'Dowd spoke only to confirm his name, state his not guilty plea and say he understood the terms of his bail.

The singer spent time talking with lawyers before leaving the court building, thanking fans who turned up to offer support.

He said only "no comment" to waiting press before leaving in a black Volkswagen people carrier.

O'Dowd was bailed to reappear for trial at the same court on November 24.
