An Illinois judge granted special prosecutors a search warrant of Jussie Smollet's personal electronic data in December.
Nearly a year after the actor made headlines for allegedly staging a homophobic attack against himself in Chicago, an Illinois judge has now ordered Smollett's personal electronic data be handed over to a special prosecutor, according to reports published on Wednesday.
A judge signed a warrant on December 6 ordering Google to deliver all of Smollett's Google search and browsing history, Google Drive and Google Voice files, emails , photographs and geolocation data from November 2018 to November 2019. The warrant also extends to Smollett's manager, Frank Gatson., when signing the warrants Judge Michael Toomin told Google not to disclose that they were ordered to give investigators the information.
Smollett was taken to a hospital after being attacked by masked assailants near his Chicago apartment on January 29, 2019. In a police report, the actor and singer claimed the men doused him with an"unknown chemical substance" and wrapped a rope around his neck. He also reported his attackers yelled homophobic slurs and referenced President Donald Trump's campaign slogan,"Make America Great Again.
Brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo were arrested for their suspected roles in the attack in early February. However, the men were released from police custody on February 15, 2019, without being charged, after which reports surfaced that the men had personal relationships with Smollett and worked on the set of. The brothers claimed Smollett paid them to assault him, thus changing the course of the investigation.
Authorities quickly announced plans to interview Smollett a second time. Then on February 20, 2019, Smollett was hit with felony disorderly conduct charges. Smollett continued to maintain his innocence but turned himself in to authorities.
