Jonathan MajorsPhoto by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP, File Manhattan prosecutors released new details about allegations of domestic violence against Jonathan Majors. Charging details say Majors twisted his accuser’s arm, hit her ear, and pushed her backward into a car. Majors was arrested in March after New York police said they responded to a “domestic dispute.
” New details in the domestic violence allegations against Jonathan Majors were revealed by Manhattan prosecutors Tuesday morning. According to new charging details about the alleged March incident, Majors pulled the victim’s middle finger, “causing bruising, swelling, and substantial pain. “Major’s accuser also said the “Creed III” and Marvel star grabbed her “right arm, [placed] it behind my body, and use his hands to twist my right forearm and right middle finger, causing substantial pain to my right forearm and right middle finger.
” The charging document also alleges Majors hit the victim with his hand on her right ear and caused a cut, and that he pushed her into a car using both of his hands, causing her to fall backward. The alleged assault happened early in the morning on March 25, at the corner of Canal Street and Centre Street in lower Manhattan, just blocks from the criminal courthouse. Majors has said through his lawyers that he is innocent.
One of Majors’ lawyers, Priya Chaudhry, refuted the allegations outside of court on Tuesday, Deadline reported. “We have provided the District Attorney with irrefutable evidence that the woman is lying, including video proof showing nothing happened, especially not where she claimed,” she said. “We did this with the explicit promise from the DA that they would not ‘fix’ their case and change it as we proved the woman is lying.
“”This is a witch hunt against Jonathan Majors, driven by baseless claims,” Chaudhry continued. “Instead of dismissing the allegations in the face of the woman’s clear lies, the DA has adjusted the charges to match the woman’s new lies. To be clear, there are no new charges against Mr.
Majors. “Majors appeared virtually at Tuesday’s hearing, via a screen facing faced Criminal Court Judge Rachel Pauley. He wore a beige dress shirt in front of a white background.
The only words he said to Pauley in the five-minute hearing were “Good morning,” “Yes ma’am,” and “Thank you. “During the hearing, Pauley told Majors that an earlier protective order put in place for the victim is still in effect. She told Majors that he must follow the order until the next court hearing in this case on June 13.
Pauley added that if Majors does not appear on the next court date, a warrant would be issued for his arrest. Majors is facing charges of assault to recklessly cause physical injury, harassment of physical contact, assault with intention to cause physical injury, aggravated assault to injure family, and attempted assault with intention to cause physical injury. All are misdemeanors and carry a maximum sentence of one year in a city jail.
