He was charged for disorderly conduct charge for a false crime report which is a Class 4 felony and punishable by up to three years in prison or a $25,000 fine.

It would be recalled that he was hospitalized, after he was reportedly injured by two men in what looks like a homophobic attack back in January 2019.

There were reportedly two men wearing ski masks that viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back.

He suffered a fractured rib, and the attackers put a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him as they yelled, “This is MAGA country.”
