In a significant verdict, Marvel actor Jonathan Majors has been declared guilty of two out of four charges in a New York criminal case related to assault and harassment stemming from a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend. The jury delivered its decision on Monday, finding Majors guilty of reckless assault and a non-criminal charge of harassment while acquitting him of another assault charge and an aggravated harassment charge.
Majors is scheduled for sentencing on February 6 of next year. The actor, known for his role in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, maintained a serious demeanor during the verdict reading.
The domestic dispute, which occurred on March 25, involved Majors and his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Prosecutors argued that Majors used physical violence by grabbing Jabbari’s right hand, twisting her arm, and delivering a blow to her head. Majors’ defense reiterated his innocence, claiming that Jabbari was the aggressor in the incident.
Majors who did not testify during the trial will face legal consequences in a sentencing that is anticipated with interest. This verdict could also have repercussions on his career, as Disney recently removed the release of “Magazine Dreams,” a film starring Majors. The news has left the industry and the actor’s fans surprised and awaiting the future implications of this judicial decision.
