Overview
- Weston Coppola Cage was granted a two-year mental health diversion program to resolve two felony assault charges stemming from an April 2024 incident involving his mother, Christina Fulton, and a friend.
- The court ruled that Cage must adhere to a treatment plan, avoid harassing the victims, and refrain from possessing weapons during the program's duration.
- Christina Fulton supported the diversion over prison but expressed fears for her safety, citing her son's lack of remorse and accountability following the attack.
- Fulton recounted the assault in graphic detail during the court hearing, describing injuries that she claimed nearly cost her life.
- A related lawsuit filed by Fulton against Nicolas Cage for alleged negligence was dismissed, though she continues to pursue legal action against Weston for assault and emotional distress.
