London: British singer Boy George was found guilty on Friday of falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort by handcuffing him to a wall.
Boy George 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. He will be sentenced later.
Boy George denied falsely imprisoning Audun Carlsen at his flat in April last year, the Press Association reported.
He told police he had invited Carlsen to his home after a 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 at him.
