Actor Jussie Smollett was indicted on 16 felony counts related to allegations that he falsely reported being victim of a racist, anti-gay attack
CHICAGO—A grand jury indicted actor Jussie Smollett on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after he allegedly staged an attack on himself in late January, according to court documents filed Thursday.
Chicago police last month charged Mr. Smollett, a star of Fox’s “Empire” television show, with disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. He turned himself into police shortly after and was released from custody after posting $10,000 on his $100,000 bond.
