Jonathan Majors Domestic Violence Case Gets November Trial Date

CHELSEA, NY - Marvel actor Jonathan Majors is slated to standtrial this month after a New York judge denied his motion to dismiss the assault case against him.

Majors, 34, best known for playing Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror, is set for a Nov. 29 trial date, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said in a statement.

Majors was arrested and charged on March 25 with assault and aggravated harassment after a reported domestic issue with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in a private car from a Brooklyn party to his apartment in Chelsea, according to The Cut.

Majors pleaded not guilty to the charges back in March, the outlet reported.

“Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone," Majors' attorney Priya Chaudhry told Variety in April. "We have provided irrefutable evidence to the District Attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated."

Though Jabbari was arrested and charged in October with assault and criminal mischief in connection with the March incident according to Variety, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said it has since “officially declined to prosecute the case against Grace Jabbari because it lacks prosecutorial merit. The matter is now closed and sealed.”

In an 115-page document denying Majors' motion to dismiss, prosecutors said they didn't believe Jabbari had also committed a crime, TIME reported.

During an October 25 hearing, Majors’ attorneys argued to shield "contested evidence" from public view due to the high-profile nature of the case, adding the “disclosure of sensitive information will limit Mr. Majors’ right to a fair trial," Variety reported. A judge is set to make a decision on the matter before the trial date, according to The Cut.

According to the filing from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Jabbari saw a text on Majors' phone that read "wish I was kissing you right now," TIME reported. When she took the phone, Majors allegedly began an assault that resulted in “sustained substantial pain, including a fractured finger, bruising about her body, a laceration behind her right ear, and a bump on her head," the outlet added.

Multiple alleged abuse victims of Majors have since come forward and are cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, per Variety.

A request for comment was not immediately returned by Majors' attorney.
