The City of Fairfax Police Department in Virginia has dismissed the Muslim girl's claims that the assault was motivated by hate towards her race or religion.
The actor, who is black and gay, had lied to the police and had falsely claimed that he was attacked in a dark Chicago street by two masked strangers in 2019. The attack was staged by the actor himself.
