Boy George claims police report before alleged attack

Boy George made an official complaint to police that personal data had been taken from his computer just days before he attacked a male escort who he thought had tampered with his laptop, a court in Britain heard today.

The singer allegedly handcuffed 29-year-old Audun Carlsen to a wall in his house and beat him with a metal chain, thinking the Norwegian had taken information from his computer during a naked photo shoot three months earlier.
