Ex-Girlfriend of Actor Jonathan Majors Arrested for Assault, Case Dropped by Prosecutors

Jonathan Majors awaits trial for misdemeanor charges following alleged assault on ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, who surrendered herself to police but won't be prosecuted due to lack of "prosecutorial merit."

Overview

  • Actor Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, surrendered to New York City police and was arrested on charges of misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief. She was later released on a desk appearance ticket.
  • Despite Jabbari’s arrest, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office stated that they “would decline to prosecute any charges brought by the NYPD against Ms. Jabbari related to the belated allegations” made by Majors. They said they had informed police of that decision on two separate occasions.
  • Majors has counter-accused Jabbari of assaulting him during the same March dispute that led to his arrest. His lawyers submitted allegations including a surveillance video allegedly showing Jabbari unharmed after the altercation.
  • Majors' legal challenge to have his case dismissed was denied by a New York judge who set a trial date for November 29. If convicted, Majors could face up to a year in jail.
  • Majors' legal team has been accused by the prosecution of misleadingly leaking court evidence, including a falsified witness statement and unrelated 911 call.
