Here's a link that details the charges against Mr. Smollett:
The legal saga surrounding Jussie Smollett’s claim in 2019 that he was the target of a racist and homophobic attack in Chicago has culminated in a trial, which concluded with a jury convicting him on five counts of disorderly conduct.

He faced six counts of disorderly conduct under a subsection of the law that prohibits false reports to police. Some states don’t categorize false police reports as disorderly conduct.
The charges were listed as class 4 felonies, which are among the least serious felonies in Illinois. But convictions can still carry potential prison time of up to three years.
Although Smollett was found guilty Thursday of five of the six counts, his lack of criminal history and the fact that no one was seriously hurt make actual time behind bars unlikely. It’s more likely that a judge would sentence him to probation and perhaps order him to perform community service.
Based on Smollett's conviction and based on his testimony in his trial, many are bringing up the possibility that he may now face perjury charges...
In Illinois, perjury is a Class 3 felony. It is punishable by: Up to five years in prison; and. A fine of up to $25,000.
