Former Empire star Jussie Smollett was indicted by a special prosecutor in Chicago investigating allegations he orchestrated a hoax hate-crime attack last January.
The specific charges levelled against the actor have not been made public with Fox 32 Chicago reporting Smollett is due to appear in court on February 24.
Smollett was indicted last February for disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after he allegedly paid two men to attack him in a staged hate-crime assault.
