New York (EFE) .
Majors, 33, and star of “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was charged with strangulation, assault and stalking a woman following a call to police over a domestic dispute on March 25, for which he was arrested and later released.
The actor appeared today at a routine audience via telematics. And he succinctly expressed his understanding of the issues raised by the justice, Rachel Pauley. Like complying with a restraining order and not having contact with the victim, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The 30-year-old victim, who was allegedly Majors’s partner, suffered head and neck injuries in the alleged dispute, according to a police report, but the prosecution’s complaint no longer mentions the neck and instead adds damage to an arm, according to that medium.
The defense of Jonathan Majors
Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaundhry, in a statement, defended the actor’s innocence, said she had given prosecutors “irrefutable evidence that the woman was lying” and tried to discredit her by assuring that there are inconsistencies in her story, at least in terms of the truth. “location”.
Previously, the lawyer already spoke of alleged evidence that would include written statements by the woman retracting the accusations. As well as video footage of the car where the incident allegedly occurred and various witness testimonies.
Chaundhry said prosecutors have “adjusted the charges” against Majors to the victim’s version and considered his client a victim. Pointing out that he faces the “racial bias” of the American criminal system, alluding to the fact that Majors is black.
The actor’s career, a rising Hollywood star, has been marred by the allegations. And in the last two months he has lost advertising and project management contracts.
Majors is called to appear in person before the judge on June 13.
