\nEmpire actor Jussie Smollett on Friday was indicted by a grand jury in Chicago on 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct in connection to an alleged hate crime staged against himself.<\/p>\nLast month, Smollett was charged with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false report with police on January 29th, the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
Smollett, who is African-American and plays a gay character on Empire, told police that he was assaulted while walking home from a downtown Subway sandwich shop. The actor claimed two masked individuals beat him, hurled racist and homophobic slurs, and doused him with an unknown chemical substance. Further, he alleged his assailants looped a thin rope around his neck and shouted \u201cThis is MAGA country\u201d before fleeing the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Smollett\u2019s legal team has vigorously defended their client against the media and the police, accusing officials of mishandling his case. In an eyebrow-raising statement, Smollett\u2019s attorney called the actor \u201ca man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
