The verdict was reached on Monday by a six-person jury seated in New York after four hours of deliberation, ABC News reports.
Earlier this year in March, Majors was arrested and charged with four counts of assault after an altercation with his former partner. The alleged fight occurred after Jabbari said she saw a message from another woman pop up on his phone during a night out.
When she was examined, Jabbari had several injuries including a laceration behind her ear and a fractured finger. The 34-year-old actor pleaded not guilty to the charges and also chose not to take the witness stand during his trial.
On Monday, the Marvel star was found guilty of one count of third-degree reckless assault and one count of second-degree harassment. The jury acquitted him of two other counts of intentional assault and aggravated harassment.
In response to the verdict, the victim’s attorney, Ross Kramer, hailed the jury’s decision, stating that justice had been served.
Ross’s statement read in part, “Ms. Jabbari testified publicly and truthfully, even though reliving these traumatic events on the witness stand was obviously painful. We are grateful to the jurors and the Judge for their attention and patience, and to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for their hard work and support.
“Ms. Jabbari’s resolve to see this case through to the end demonstrates her tremendous strength and resilience. Unfortunately, for every survivor like Ms. Jabbari who comes forward to hold their abuser accountable, there are many others who believe that they cannot. We hope that her actions will inspire other survivors to speak their truth and seek justice.”
Majors’ sentencing is scheduled to be held on February 6, next year.
