As we told you back in December, Boy George was sent to jail after being convicted for beating and imprisoning a Norwegian male escort. The Culture Club frontman was supposed to serve 18-months in jail, but the Karma police have awarded him with release after only serving four months.

George (seen above in better days) was found guilty of detaining a male escort, Audun Charlsen, in his London home, but was released from Suffolk’s Edmunds Hill Prison today because of good behavior. George is not getting off too easily though. The singer will be monitored with an ankle tag to keep track of his whereabouts. He will also have a curfew, which he will have to obey for the next 14 months.

This is not George’s first time in a violent relationship. He and Culture Club drummer Jon Moss were in a long term relationship that was known for being physical and verbally abusive, which many have linked to band’s downfall in 1986.
