Jonathan Majors has been convicted of attacking his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

The famous actor from Marvel, who is 34 years old, got apprehended in March while he was in New York. This happened because Ms. Jabbari made accusations against him for slapping her and throwing her into the car after she had stepped out of it. The accused actor reportedly twisted Ms. Jabbari's arm, and also grabbed and injured her hand.

In the past, he entered a plea of innocence to allegations of minor assault, severe harassment, attempted aggression, and harassment.

After a trial that lasted for 10 days, where both the driver of the car and Ms Jabbari provided testimony, the jury gave a verdict on Monday. The decision was mixed. Majors was found guilty of one instance of assault and one incident of harassment. However, he was cleared of another assault case and one aggravated harassment case.

Now the focus shifts to whether or not Majors will serve time in jail. It is believed that he may be sentenced to a maximum of one year behind bars.

As per the reports, Majors' sentencing has been delayed till Tuesday, February 6th, 2024.
