Jussie Smollett Hit With SIX Charges In Chicago Over Allegedly Faking Hate Attack

A year after news of Jussie Smollett‘s alleged attack rocked the newswire, the narrative has taken another dramatic turn. One that sees the ‘Empire’ star facing prison again.

Full story below…

Moments ago, it was announced that Chicago prosecutor Dan Webb has charged Smollett with six felony counts for allegedly lying to law enforcement about a hate attack.

Per TMZ, the indictment bills the charges under “disorderly conduct,” with all six charges asserting that he lied to police.

As reported, the case against Smollett – who’s gone from alleged victim to alleged criminal – collapsed after the Cook County State’s Attorney withdrew charges.

Yet, the office investigating the initial complaint filed civil charges against the actor – demanding that he funds the costs of investigation. Said office was countersued by Smollett and are the same office at the helm of this re-filing.

According to Webb, the charges re-filed “in the interest of justice.”

Smollett, who remains adamant about his innocence, is expected to plead not guilty when he attends court of Feb 24th to enter a plea.

If convicted, he faces up to three years in prison.
