Jonathan Majors assault case: Sentencing delayed to April

Jonathan Majors

No respite for Jonathan Majors as his domestic assault case gets extended yet again. The Marvel actor was expected to receive his sentence in the domestic assault charge this week but the sentencing has now been delayed to April 8 due to motions filed by his legal team to set aside the verdict.

As the sentencing has been deferred to April, the presiding judge said that the new date will give prosecutors in the case some time to respond to these motions.

The sentencing was happening a month after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. In late 2023, the jury foundthe Marvel actor guilty of two misdemeanour counts of harassment and assault but acquitted him on two other counts stemming from an incident that occurred last March.

Majors wasn’t present to hear the verdict but appeared virtually since he lives out of the state where the case is going on. Based on his charges, he could face up to a year in jail.

What ensued between Jonathan and Grace?

Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari were a thing when they met on the set of Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. She worked as a movement coordinator on the film set. Things were good between them until the fateful night when they fought as she caught him cheating. She caught flirty text messages on his phone from another woman as they were coming back from a party.

The actor was arrested on March 25, 2023, after he assaulted Grace Jabbari in the backseat of a private vehicle. During the two-week trial, Grace told jurors that Majors forcefully retrieved his phone from her, resulting in injuries to her head and finger.

Majors denied that he assaulted Jabbari. After he was convicted, Jonathan appeared on Good Morning America in which he continued to deny any wrongdoing and said he only regrets not breaking up with Jabbari sooner.
