NEW YORK – Actor Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial has been postponed until at least September 6th, following a request from New York City prosecutors for more time to prepare.
The 33-year-old actor appeared in court on the scheduled trial date, facing charges related to a March incident involving a woman. She alleges that Majors twisted her arm behind her back, struck her on the head, and pushed her into a vehicle. The woman was treated for minor neck and head injuries, including a cut to her ear.
Majors is facing misdemeanor charges, including assault, and could potentially face up to a year in jail if convicted. The judge set a new tentative trial date for September 6th after prosecutors asked for additional time for discovery.
“We look forward to presenting the full facts and evidence at trial,” said Doug Cohen, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
Majors left the courtroom after the hearing, acknowledging some people seated in the gallery. He also made a gesture to a woman seated near the door.
The actor, known for his role as Kang the Conqueror in Marvel films, has maintained his innocence and denied the accusations.
