A Manhattan jury found actor Jonathan Majors guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment on Monday, following a two-week trial. The charges stem from an incident that occurred on March 25th between Majors and his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
The jury found Majors guilty of assault and harassment, but not guilty of two other counts. Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, released a statement saying that the jury did not believe Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV.
The incident occurred when Majors and Jabbari were in the back seat of a chauffeured car. Majors was accused of assaulting Jabbari as the two struggled over a phone. Majors showed no immediate reaction when the verdict was read, looking slightly downward.
Following the verdict, the judge ordered a new order of protection and set the sentencing date for February 6th. Majors had hoped the trial would salvage his reputation and restore his status as an emerging Hollywood star. It is unclear what the outcome of the sentencing will be.
