Actor Jussie Smollett guilty of lying about racist attack – BBC News


US actor Jussie Smollett lied to police when he claimed to have been the victim of a racist, homophobic assault, a Chicago jury has found.

At trial this week, Smollett, 39, stood by denials that he staged the hoax attack against himself.

Prosecutors countered that he "lied for hours" on the stand as he repeated what he told to Chicago police.

He was found guilty on Thursday of five counts of disorderly conduct.

Each count carries a penalty of up to three years in prison. Given Smollett’s lack of previous convictions, experts have said a lighter sentence or probation is likely. A sentencing date has yet to be scheduled.
