“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report about an attack he said occurred as he walked to his apartment building in Streeterville last month.

The charge, a felony, was announced by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office Wednesday evening, hours after police called Smollett “a suspect in a criminal investigation … for filing a false police report.”

Earlier in the day, attorneys for Smollett, 36, met with prosecutors and detectives but it was unclear if the actor was present, according to police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. The lawyers, Todd Pugh and Victor P. Henderson, could not be reached for comment. They have been joined by high-profile, Los Angeles-based lawyer Mark Geragos who has represented numerous celebrities, including pop star Michael Jackson, R&B singer Chris Brown and actress Winona Ryder.

On Tuesday, two brothers who had been under arrest in the case appeared at the criminal courthouse, also to talk to prosecutors and detectives, authorities said. They and their attorney, Gloria Schmidt, were seen near the grand jury rooms Tuesday afternoon, but police said they did not appear before a grand jury.

You have a strange notion that financial gain is the only sort of gain that one might seek; or that "gain" of any sort is necessary to be charged with criminal fraud.

Have a look around www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-47. (These are Federal statutes.) And please leave me alone.

Interesting: FRAUD AND FALSE STATEMENTS ... meaning they're obviously not the same.

Consider yourself left alone.

You actually consider your ignorant trolling as my problem? Oh wait, is that a statement? According to you, I obviously have no idea what you believe so maybe I shouldn’t be asking those questions that you believe are misleading statements.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3729355/replies?c=130

but, isn’t that how your insane nonsense first started? Yet, another question, but not a statement. You asked if someone considered “a felony conviction with 1-3 years in the pen plus a fine a joke”, as a reply/statement to a statement of “This is a joke.”

So why indeed, did you post misleading statements about their beliefs? You obviously have no idea about what the person believes, but you did it, and then immediately started trolling me for asking you a very simple question, about what you posted!

You indeed, are the textbook definition of a troll.

Another misleading troll statement!

THAT person specifically stated his belief in the post I responded to.

I have no idea why you are trolling me with deliberate misleading posts but time for you to *** off.

You don’t consider a 1-3 year sentence in the pen ok for starters?

No he didn't. There was absolutely nothing specific about it. Again, all he wrote was, “This is a joke.”

You then, made the assumption that he considered a felony conviction with 1-3 years in the pen plus a fine a joke. Yet you knew absolutely nothing whatsoever about what he was thinking or what he believed about people doing time in prison, because he never posted anything whatsoever about a conviction or prison time!

But you did. So STOP with your trolling LIES and deliberately posting false nonsense. Just STFU, MORON!

I don’t have problem. Why are you posting that I do, when you know absolutely nothing about my life? Why are you posting that my wife beats me, when you know absolutely nothing about my family? Why are you calling me a man, when you know absolutely nothing about who I am? Get a freaking life, and stop trolling everyone with your nonsense!

I know about you except you have this problem. That is why I am asking.

And I did not state that your wife bears you.

Just because the moderator removed some of your ignorant posts, doesn’t mean that you never posted it. That’s your problem, not mine. And one more time, you are indeed a liar, because I don’t have a problem.

and yet, still no answer to my original question...

Really. What is your problem.

I never heard of you till you started trolling me.

No doubt you mislead.

I only asked you one simple question, and you attacked me, instead of answering the question.

That’s what trolls do. It’s really not that hard to answer a question, instead you continue to make false statements. Asking one question to a lame comment, is not trolling. Replying to you continuous attacks, is not trolling.

still waiting for the answer...
