EXPLAINER: What charges did Jussie Smollett face at trial?
Fox News
Actor Jussie Smollett was found guilty on five counts of disorderly conduct and sentenced to 30 months of felony probation after being convicted of staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself in 2019.
Smollett was also ordered to pay $120,106 in restitution to the city of Chicago.
Initial charges brought in February 2019 that accused Smollett of faking the assault were soon after tossed. But in February 2020, after a special prosecutor looked into the case, a new six-count indictment was filed.
