Actress Daniele Watts charged with lewd conduct

HOLLYWOOD -- The Django Unchained star who claimed she was detained by Los Angeles police because of racial profiling has been charged with lewd conduct.
Daniele Watts made headlines when she posted pictures of her handcuffed and crying after officers found her in a car with Brian Lucas.
The 26-year-old, who has also appeared in the TV series Partners claimed they were just kissing, while Lucas, 43, wrote that he suspected that onlookers assumed that Watts must be a prostitute because she is black and he is white.
The cops have denied any wrongdoing and said she refused to provide identification to officers.
They have also charged both with misdemeanor counts that carry potential six-month jail terms.
