Boy George is not a Z-list celebrity - he's far too famous for that. Z list celebrity these days is synonymous with only being famous for being famous - and you really think that that is George? No. He's a great singer and a great song-writer and his fame is still there on a worldwide scale. If you want to put him down, go ahead, but be accurate. RobN, get a grip.

What he did was totally vicious and reprehensible, and he should have done his time like anyone else. Why do people on here put these faggots on a pedestal just because they are gay? What he did was wrong, whatever the sexuality. The man is an arrogant, over-the-hill, z-list celebrity that thinks he can do what he likes without compunction and get away with it.

There's some shocking pictures of him leaving prison and looking distinctly like a middle aged irishman.... no eyeliner will save him now!! ;) He's a pretty vile character - not sure why the gay community supports him so openly. I guess he paid a lot of dues in the 80's in progressing the visibility of gay men, whether or not the image he portrayed was positive or not. To me he and his antics represent the worst of what it means to be gay in 2009. Where are the positive role models, apart from the Pet Shop Boys and Stephen Fry??? lol!

He absolutely did not deserved to be deprived of his freedom. The slut that took him to court was in it for the money. I'm a believer of karma and the slut has it coming right at him.

I'm with simon on this as well, I don't think there was a guy that was abused, I think there was a guy who saw an opportunity to make himself some money at George's expense. I sincerely hope that his time in prison wasn't too horrific. Nick – Blair's Britain, that what you actually serve these days.

The accuser was also abusing drugs on the night of the assault. Plus he sold his story to the papers before George was convicted. I think George was stitched up.

I don't particularly think he is a threat to the public at large, but this is happening all the time and makes our criminal justice syatem a joke. If I was the guy he'd abused I'd be pissed off.
