A New York judge has decided today that Jonathan Majors will still be sentenced next week on his assault and harassment conviction.

 Jude Michael Gaffey has denied the defense motion to set aside the verdicts and strip the guilty results against the Creed III actor that a jury delivered on December 18 last year. With this last Hail Mary effort now dead, Majors will be sentenced on April 8, as previously scheduled.

The one-time Marvel star potentially faces up to a year behind bars.

Neither Majors’ top lawyer Priya Chaudhry nor the Manhattan District Attorney’s office responded to request for comment on the new ruling. If and when they do, this post will be updated.

With Majors once stellar career in a tatters now, Wednesday’s ruling from Judge Gaffey comes almost a month after the much accused Majors’ ex-girlfriend  Grace Jabbari sued him for defamation.

Arrested on March 25, 2023 after the alleged assault on Jabbari in New York City, Majors was convicted  late last year of reckless assault and harassment in his much delayed trial. Originally up against a total of four misdemeanor charges, Majors, who pleaded not guilty, was not convicted by the jury of three men and three women of intentional assault in the third degree and of aggravated harassment in the second degree against then-girlfriend Jabbari in the incident over a year ago.

Present in court every day of teh trial but never testifying in his own defense, Majors always insisted he never attacked British dancer Jabbari after his girlfriend of almost two years discovered texts from another woman on his phone while the duo were being driven through the NYC night in March 2023. Attorney Chaudhry said Majors was the actual victim of abuse by Jabbari and racism by the NYPD. Before the trial began on , the Magazine Dreams star took Jabbari to court and had the police issue a de facto warrant for the her arrest – – a move the DA’s office shut down pretty quick.

 In January of this year, a few weeks after his conviction, Majors told ABC News “my hands have never struck a woman.” A slew of allegations from other women since the trial ended, and detailed descriptions of a litany of assaults, violence and recriminations in Jabbari’s defamation action says otherwise.

Majors showed up with Harlem actress Meagan Good last month at the 7th Annual AAFCA Special Achievement Awards luncheon in LA. Good attended court with Majors almost every day of the trial last year.
