In a recent development, Grace Jabbari, the woman who accused actor Jonathan Majors of attacking her in the back of a chauffeured car, has surrendered to the New York police. Jabbari, a 30-year-old choreographer and former partner of Majors, arrived at a Manhattan police precinct on Wednesday evening to face misdemeanor charges for her role in the March domestic dispute. Her attorney, Ross Kramer, confirmed that his client was arrested on two misdemeanor charges and expressed disappointment that survivors are often treated like perpetrators.

The charges against Jabbari stem from a counterclaim filed by Majors with the NYPD in June, in which he alleged that he was the true victim during the late-night squabble. The New York Times and Insider reported in June that authorities had evidence suggesting Jabbari attacked Majors. However, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has already announced that they do not plan to prosecute Jabbari. They have informed her attorney that they will move to dismiss the charges as soon as possible. Despite the desk appearance ticket requiring Jabbari to report to court at a later date, she has already left the precinct after surrendering.

The incident leading to the charges occurred during a car ride home at around 12:40 a.m. According to prosecutors, Jabbari tried to grab Majors' phone after seeing a text message that read, "wish I was kissing you right now." In response, Majors allegedly grabbed her arm, placed it behind her body, and twisted her arm and finger with his right hand. He then purportedly hit her across the arm, causing a laceration, before pushing her with both hands.

During a hearing on Wednesday, a New York judge rejected a defense motion to dismiss all charges against Majors. The judge stated that the case had not violated the Speedy Trial Act and had enough evidence to proceed to trial. The trial is now set to begin on November 26, and Majors is facing several misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, with a potential jail sentence of up to one year if convicted.

Majors' career suffered a setback following his arrest, with Rolling Stone publishing a report detailing allegations of abusive behavior toward crew members, former partners, and classmates from the Yale School of Drama. His management and PR firm subsequently fired him. In an effort to combat the negative press, Majors' defense team has worked extensively to prove his innocence. They have released surveillance footage allegedly showing Jabbari at a club after the assault and shared text messages they claim provide context about their former relationship.

Furthermore, Majors filed a counter-claim alleging that Jabbari was the aggressor and accused her of stealing his vintage Rolex. He also claimed that she later injured herself alone in his apartment. The defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, has argued that Majors is the true victim of the assault and accused the police of taunting him when they arrived at the scene. Chaudhry has highlighted the racial bias in the criminal justice system, emphasizing the disparate treatment between Majors, a Black man, and his accuser.

In another development related to the case, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office recently revealed that they have obtained a London Metropolitan Police report about a September 2022 incident that is relevant to Majors' domestic violence case. The report is connected to a "Molineux incident," although further details about what occurred and who was involved have not been provided. The DA's office has obtained medical records and treatment information related to the incident but did not disclose specific details.

Prosecutors have shared these new details in response to a defense motion to dismiss the charges against Majors. The judge is expected to rule on the motion and decide whether to proceed with the case. The prosecutors have provided a list of evidence they have gathered, including interviews with witnesses, phone records, medical records, bodycam videos, surveillance footage, and the London Metropolitan Police report.

The defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, declined to comment on the latest motion. However, she and her legal team have been actively working to prove Majors' innocence, releasing evidence and claiming that he is the true victim of the assault. They have accused the prosecution of misconduct and leaking court evidence. Majors continues to deny any wrongdoing, declaring that the allegations against him are baseless.

As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will progress and what impact they will have on Majors' career. The allegations and counter-claims have generated significant public attention, highlighting issues of domestic violence, racial bias, and the treatment of survivors in the criminal justice system.
