US actor Jussie Smollett found guilty of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for falsely telling police he was the victim of a hate crime in 2019
A jury in Chicago has found US actor Jussie Smollett guilty of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for falsely telling police he was the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime in 2019, an attack prosecutors said he himself staged.
"The jury in the case of Jussie Smollett have found Mr Smollett guilty of five of six counts of disorderly conduct," Cook County Circuit Court spokeswoman Mary Wisniewski said in a statement to reporters. The actor faces up to three years in prison, but could instead be sentenced to probation and community service. No sentencing date was set.
"Then he proceeded to tell me he wanted me to beat him up," he said. "I was supposed to punch him but not too hard."
