US actor Jussie Smollett has been sentenced to 150 days in jail after a jury found he lied to police about being the victim of a hate crime.
The former Empire star was found guilty in December of five charges of felony disorderly conduct after making false reports about the hoax attack.
The sentence also includes 30 months of probation and US $145,000 in restitution and fines.
The trial stemmed from an incident three years ago when Smollett said he was attacked by two assailants.
