Jussie Smollett made headlines in 2019 after he claimed to the Chicago police that he was the victim of a homophobic and racist attack.

朱西·斯莫利特在2019年向芝加哥警方声称自己是同性恋和种族主义袭击的受害者后成为头条新闻。

Investigators searched for the perpetrators of what was initially described as a “possible hate crime” before ultimately accusing the actor of staging his own assault.

调查人员搜查了肇事者，最初被描述为“可能的仇恨犯罪”，最终指控这名演员自己策划了袭击。

A major development in the case came that same month, when police arrested two possible suspects, but they were released soon after without charges. Multiple reports later surfaced accusing the actor of staging the attack with the help of Abimbola “Bola” Osundairo and Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo, which he repeatedly and vehemently denied.

同月，案件出现了重大进展，警方逮捕了两名可能的嫌疑人，但他们很快就被释放，没有受到指控。随后出现了多份报告，指控这位演员在阿比姆波拉·奥桑代罗和奥拉比乔·奥桑代罗的帮助下策划了这次袭击，但他一再强烈否认。

He was charged later that month with felony disorderly conduct for making a false police report. The next morning, he was arrested. He was subsequently charged with 16 felony counts. In March 2019, prosecutors dropped the charges.

当月晚些时候，他因伪造警方报告而被控妨害治安重罪。第二天早上，他被捕了。随后，他被控16项重罪。2019年3月，检察官撤销了指控。

Nearly a year later a special prosecutor Dan Webb indicted Smollett again, renewing the divisive case. The February 2020 indictment against Smollett stated that he “knew at the time” that there was no crime when he reported to the police that he had been assaulted.

将近一年后，一名特别检察官丹·韦伯再次起诉斯莫利特，再次引发争议。2020年2月对斯莫利特的起诉书称，当他向警方报告自己遭到袭击时，他“当时知道”没有犯罪行为。

In December 2021, Smollett took the stand where he explained that the attack was “no hoax.” That same month, Smollett was found guilty of five felony counts of disorderly conduct.

2021年12月，斯莫利特在证人席上解释说，这次袭击“不是骗局”。同月，斯莫利特被判五项妨害治安重罪。
