Actor Jonathan Majors will have to undergo a yearlong counseling program, but avoided jail time when he was sentenced to probation Monday for assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a high-profile case that derailed the once-promising star’s career.
The former Marvel franchise star had faced up to a year behind bars after he was convicted of misdemeanor assault by a Manhattan jury in December.
Instead, a judge ruled that Majors will be on probation, must pay a $250 fine and undergo a 52- week in-person counseling program approved by Los Angeles County's probation department.
If Majors is arrested any time during his probation, he could be forced to spend a year in jail. He is also not able to possess, apply for or own a firearm as is typical with domestic violence cases.
As part of the ruling, a full order of protection will remain in place for his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. A sample of Majors' DNA will also be taken as part of his sentence.
