The thirty nine year old “Empire” actor – Jussie Smollet has been found guilty for five different charges of disorderly conduct.
Around 3 years ago, Smollet lied to the police and claimed that he had been the victim of a homophobic and racist attack, which turned out to be a hoax staged by himself.
Each single one of those five counts holds a punishment of up to 3 years in prison, but given his lack of any previous conviction, it might be possible that he gets a lighter penalty. The date for his sentencing is yet to be determined.
