The iconic '80s singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, admitted to applying girly makeup, plucking his eyebrows and adopting many female mannerisms, but denied tattooing his shaven head and generally looking like a creepy old dude.
Jurors were shown photos and videos which the prosecutors said had been inflicted by O'Dowd. The singer denied that he was responsible.
This was not the singer's first brush with the law.
Two years ago O'Dowd was able to plea bargain a cocaine possession charge down to filing a false police report. O'Dowd was given the relatively harsh penalty of sweeping New York City streets because he reported didn't know that cocaine possession was illegal for celebrities.
More recently, O'Dowd was again in trouble with the law for allegedly tying up a male escort and forcing him to sing Do You Really Want to Hurt Me. The judge warned that some jail time was probable.
