Actor Jonathan Majors has been arraigned on several assault and harassment charges, the Manhattan DA's office tells CNN.
Actor Jonathan Majors was arraigned on several assault and harassment charges Sunday, the Manhattan DA’s office tells CNN. The complaint does not name the female accuser but claims the defendant did “strike her about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear.” She also claims the defendant “put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain.” CNN has reached out to representatives for Majors for comment on his arraignment.
Majors’ attorney told CNN Sunday there are “two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations,” adding that they are presenting evidence to the DA including “video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode,” Attorney Priya Chaudhry expects the charges to be dropped. The Manhattan DA’s office would not comment regarding the defense attorney’s claims the woman recanted.
