Jonathan Majors Scores Huge Win in Domestic Violence Case

Actor Jonathan Majors has scored a win in allegations that he assaulted a woman called Grace Jabbari, believed to be his girlfriend.

The Creed III star was arrested on March 25 by the New York Police Department after officers were called to an apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.

Representatives for Majors have long maintained his innocence and his lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, told Newsweek the actor was "provably the victim here."

Chaudhry said that Majors met with the NYPD last week "to present them with evidence of what really happened on that night."

"Within hours of viewing the evidence, and conducting their own thorough investigation, the NYPD found probable cause to arrest Grace Jabbari for assaulting Jonathan Majors," Chaudhry added.

"Considering this development, we extend our gratitude to the NYPD detectives for their efforts," Chaudhry said.
