Boy George Guilty of Imprisoning Escort

Jury convicts pop star of false imprisonment

Share

(AP) – A jury has convicted pop singer Boy George of falsely imprisoning a male escort. Jurors sided with Norwegian Audun Carlsen, who accused the pop star of handcuffing him to a wall at the singer's London apartment and roughing him up. Boy George admitted handcuffing him but said he did so because Carlsen had tampered with his computer and removed photos. He'll be sentenced Jan. 16, and the judge has said jail time is likely.
