Boy George released from prison

Boy George has been released from prison early, after serving part of a 15-month sentence for falsely imprisoning and assaulting a male escort, and must wear an electronic tag and observe a curfew.

Well, we said yesterday that Boy George could be out of prison this month, and we were right. He was released yesterday. Which, you'll no doubt have noticed, is this month.

As previously reported, George was given a 15 month sentence in January for falsely imprisoning and beating up male escort, Audun Carlsen, who the singer believed had stolen files from his laptop, at his Shoreditch flat in 2007. Although he is being released early, he will have to wear an electronic tagging device and obey a curfew.
