Nicolas Cage's son Weston Cage sentenced after allegedly attacking his mother, Christina Fulton

Overview

  • Weston Cage was granted a two-year mental health diversion program to address two felony assault charges stemming from an April 2024 attack on his mother and a friend.
  • A Los Angeles judge ruled that Cage's mental health disorder was a significant factor in the alleged assaults, which occurred during a manic episode.
  • Christina Fulton supported the diversion program over prison but remains fearful of her son, citing his lack of remorse and accountability.
  • Cage is prohibited from harassing his victims or possessing weapons during the program, with a progress review scheduled for July 2025.
  • If Cage successfully completes the program and avoids further legal trouble, the charges could be dismissed in April 2027.
