Pop star Boy George was on Friday found guilty by a court in London of falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male escort after a nude photoshoot.

The former Culture Club frontman, 47, was accused of handcuffing 29-year-old Audun Carlsen and beating him with a metal chain when he tried to escape the musician's east London apartment following the photo session.

He will be sentenced on January 16, and was warned he may well face jail, although he was freed on bail pending the judge's decision.

Standing trial under his real name George O'Dowd at Snaresbrook Crown Court, the singer and disc jockey admitted to police to handcuffing Carlsen to his bed on April 28, 2007, as he investigated the Norwegian's alleged tampering with his computer.

He denied assaulting Carlsen, or hitting him with a metal chain, suggesting to officers that the bruises suffered by the escort could have been there due to the fact that he was HIV positive.

O'Dowd was downcast as the verdict was delivered, speaking only to confirm that he understood his bail conditions, and he left the court without addressing reporters.

Judge David Radford warned O'Dowd that he could face jail. "This is a case where custody is the more likely option.

"The fact that your bail is being continued does not imply that this will be dealt with by a non-custodial sentence. I don't want any false expectations created," he told the former singer.

O'Dowd and Carlsen met on the gay website Gaydar, and Carlsen first went to O'Dowd's apartment in January 2007, when they posed naked for the photoshoot and took cocaine.

Carlsen said the singer performed a sex act on him for "five seconds before I said no," and the pair later split on good terms, with O'Dowd paying Carlsen 300 pounds, of the 400 pounds that they had agreed.

The Norwegian claimed that the star proceeded to then send him a string of e-mails accusing him of hacking into his computer.

Despite that, Carlsen returned to O'Dowd's flat in April 2007 and said that when he arrived, he was handcuffed to a wall hook, called a "whore," punched repeatedly and beat with a metal chain when he tried to flee.

Explaining why the attack happened, Carlsen told the court: "I think he couldn't handle the refusal -- me not having sex with him."

Using the handcuffs to unscrew the wall hook, Carlsen then ran out of the apartment onto the street wearing just his underwear, a T-shirt and running shoes.

Defence lawyers arguing on behalf of O'Dowd, who did not give evidence to the court, said that the dispute was regarding claims that Carlsen had stolen photographs from O'Dowd's computer.

They argued that Carlsen's suggestion that the attack occurred because of his refusal to have sex with the artist was "entire fantasy or a lie".

O'Dowd has had brushes with the law in the past -- in August 2006, he carried out a week of court-ordered community service in New York City for filing a false police report over a non-existent burglary.

As well as the community service, he agreed to undergo drug rehabilitation.

Boy George briefly embarked on a solo singing career after leaving Culture Club in 1987, before beginning a successful career as a DJ and launching fashion line B-Rude.

This is getting stupid, seriously. The rules were there in plain black and white. If you had such a problem with it then, you should have spoken up and tried to have something done about it. Now that your favorite team is sitting at home because they didn't take care of business on the field you want change to take place, probably preferably right now so Texas can play in the Big XII Championship. Learn to be a little proactive and know the rules beforehand or stop crying about it after they are applied. It's over with and done, the rules were there and everyone has to live with them, and at the end of the day you have to realize that in the scope of things, your pathetic opinions don't matter in the scope of this argument. I advise you to go to the store, buy a box of Puffs, and take some time to get over it. At least Stoops didn't get in front of the TVs and the nation and try to campaign for their spot in the BCS like Mack Brown, Colt McCoy, and that student from Texas did. OU did their talking on the field and were rewarded justly, so get over it. Sure, it's a flawed system, but that opinion has been asserted and everyone knows it at this point, why don't we try moving on instead of STILL crying about it?

Oh, I know it was a joke, but there is a point and purpose to everything. I think this type of "joke" is played out already.

You're the one making a 10 sentance paragraph out of a one line post and your trying to convince me that other people are making to big of a deal of something?

Dude, we all know what the rules say... we get it... the rules suck, but they were there... we're not arguing that the right thing was done with concern to the big 12 rules... rules are rules...

what we arguing is a system that allows a team to jump above a team that beat them on a neutral field weeks ago without any type of loss/bad performance by the winning team taking place to cause this jump...

Yes, OU DID do their talking on the field, as they did BEFORE that showdown in Dallas... we GET this... we just don't get why college football uses a system that could do this in the last minute...

If Texas had jumped OU, yah, we'd take it but we'd still agree it's messed up because it could happen to ANY TEAM... we're just a tad more emotional about it seeing as it's 'our' team...

so here we are, making fun of the BCS, a computer system that says they just saw a Lochness monster eating a sasquatch... just saw that go by on the ticker...
