See, now this is the problem with Bondage and all that other stuff. Maybe the guy was paid to put up with it or whatever, and then changed his mind but they didn't know each other at all, so who'd have an idea if it's just part of the game or if he really was serious.

There's a fine line, and now someone's going to jail.

(not saying he's not guilty, but really, who knows?)

Well, first off its Boy George and secondly we had to put up with his music - seems rather fitting actually.

That's why there are trials with judges and juries and stuff. The BBC reports the judge found that ""He was deprived of his liberty and human dignity without warning or proper explanation to him of its purpose, length or purported justification." so it would seem he did his job of considering the possibility of consent.....
