Los Angeles, Oct 27 (IANS): After actor Jonathan Majors sexual harassment case was ruled out by judges, the ‘Creed’ star’s accuser, his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has also not been sued by the District Attorney. Majors through an attorney has called the decision of not prosecuting his accuser a "serious injustice."
The actor was arrested in Manhattan on March 25, and was charged with assault and aggravated harassment after an alleged domestic dispute with Jabbari, who was his girlfriend at the time. Majors’ trial is scheduled to begin on November 29.
Grace Jabbari surrendered for arrest at the 10th precinct in Manhattan on October 25, on the suspicion of misdemeanour assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief. The arrest occurred in relation to a cross complaint Majors had filed against her in June, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
After the cross complaint was filed, an investigatory card, or I-Card, which is an internal NYPD document alerting officers that there is probable cause for an arrest, was issued for Jabbari in late June.
However, in court documents related to the ‘Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ actor’s case, after prosecutors learned of the I-Card, they said that they informed the NYPD on September 8 and September 12 that “the People would decline to prosecute any charges brought by the NYPD against Ms. Jabbari related to the belated allegations made by the defendant regarding the incident on March 25.”
This was also disclosed to the defense counsel in Majors case on September 26 and to Jabbari’s attorney on September 21.
