The Associated Press has reported that actor Jonathan Majors has been ordered to complete a year-long counseling program but avoided jail time Monday for assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The actor had faced up to a year behind bars after he was convicted of misdemeanor assault by a Manhattan jury back in December.
This started last March when Jabbari accused Majors of attacking her in the backseat of a chauffeured car, saying he hit her head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back, and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured.
On Monday, Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced Majors to a conditional discharge after noting that both sides agreed the charges did not warrant jail time, given the actor was a first-time offender with no prior criminal record. Gaffey said Majors must complete a year-long, in-person batterer's intervention program. In addition, Majors has to continue with the mental-health therapy his lawyers say he's been going to. Majors faces a year in jail if found violating the terms, which include a no-contact order with his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
