Former Marvel star Jonathan Majors has reportedly escaped being sent to prison and has been handed a lighter sentence after being found guilty of assault and harassment of former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
Last week, Majors' defense team made one last attempt to get the jury verdict overturned, but a New York Judge denied the motion. The actor now faces a new lawsuit from Jabbari, who is accusing him of battery, assault, and malicious prosecution.

Jonathan Majors Ordered To Attend Domestic Violence Treatment Program
MEGAAfter being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment in December last year, New York judge Michael Gaffey sentenced Majors to participate in a domestic violence treatment program.
According to Deadline, the “in-person batterers” intervention program will last for a year and is situated in LA, where Majors resides.
Prior to the sentencing, Majors faced a one-year jail sentence. Experts previously argued that the actor's multiple interviews after he was found guilty would have provoked a judge to give him a harsher sentence. Fortunately for the actor, he was given a lighter sentence.

On December 18, the actor was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of reckless assault and harassment against Jabbari. This came after a three-week trial that included the showing of multiple videos and photographs by both parties to prove their case.
Majors' legal woes are still far from over as Jabbari has filed a new lawsuit against him. The professional dancer claims that the actor subjected her to a "pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023."
