NEW YORK (AP) — Actor Jonathan Majors has been convicted of assaulting his former girlfriend during a confrontation in New York City earlier this year. A Manhattan jury convicted the Marvel star Monday of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation. He was also acquitted of a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment. His sentencing was set for Feb. 6. He faces up to a year in jail. The charges stemmed from a chaotic struggle with Grace Jabbari in the backseat of a car in March. She testified at the two-week trial that Majors hit her on the side of the head, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her finger until it broke.
