Boy George took it too far with his boytoy male escort.
The British singer was found guilty on Friday of falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort by handcuffing him to a wall.
The former Culture Club frontman was at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London to hear the verdict, which came at the end of a two-week trial. The jury broke to consider its verdict at around noon on Thursday, reports Reuters.
The 47-year-old, tried under his real name George O'Dowd, denied falsely imprisoning Audun Carlsen at his apartment in April last year, the Press Association reported.
O'Dowd told police he had invited Carlsen to his home after a cocaine-fueled pornographic photo shoot in January because he suspected the Norwegian of stealing pictures from his computer.
During the trial, Carlsen countered that the singer had handcuffed him to a wall and beaten him with a chain because he was angry he had refused to sleep with him when they first met. The court heard Carlsen describe how he sustained injuries during their meeting in April, 2007, from being beaten and handcuffed.
O'Dowd's lawyer said the injuries were consistent with bondage gear the Norwegian had worn.
Sentencing had not been determined as of yet.
