Jonathan Majors Guilty: Marvel Actor Convicted of Assault

New York, NY — Jonathan Majors, the Marvel actor, has been found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment by a New York jury. The verdict, reached after over four hours of deliberation across three days, also acquitted him of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree.

The charges stemmed from an incident on March 25 when Majors called 911 after finding his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, unconscious in their apartment. The case involved four charges of assault, aggravated harassment, and harassment, with Majors pleading not guilty to all charges. Sentencing is scheduled for February 6, with potential imprisonment of up to one year for the charges.

Jabbari testified that the injuries occurred during an altercation in a car triggered by a text message on Majors‘ phone. As seen in surveillance footage, the defense argued that Majors placed Jabbari back in the car to prevent her from running into traffic.

The trial focused on domestic violence, with prosecutors emphasizing Jabbari‘s credibility while the defense portrayed it as an ex’s revenge. Majors did not testify during the trial, and his defense claimed that Jabbari was the aggressor in the car.

Majors, known for his roles in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Creed III, and Loki, faced consequences after the arrest, including being dropped by his publicity firm and managers. Searchlight Features also removed Magazine Dreams from its release calendar.

In a statement, Ross Kramer, an attorney for Grace Jabbari, expressed gratitude for the guilty verdict, hoping it inspires other assault victims to come forward. The case highlighted a pattern of alleged abuse, with Majors dissuading Jabbari from seeking medical attention in a text and making comments about living up to the standards of Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama in a recorded conversation.
