Jonathan Majors can breathe a sigh of relief after learning he won't face jail time.
As expected, former MCU star Jonathan Majors won't be going to jail. A New York judge ordered the 34-year-old Creed III stars to complete a year-long counseling program for the assault on his ex-girlfriend, dancer Grace Jabari.
Majors faced up to a year behind bars after being convicted of assault by a Manhattan jury in December.
If he does violate the terms of his probation, he faces up to a year in prison.
In court Monday, Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced Majors to a conditional discharge after noting that both sides in the case agreed the charges did not warrant jail time since the actor was a first-time offender with no prior criminal record.
He said Majors must complete a 52-week in-person abuser intervention program in Los Angeles, where the actor lives. He must also continue the mental health treatment his lawyers say he has been participating in. Majors faces up to a year in prison if found in breach of the terms, which also included a no-contact order with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

While Majors remained quiet, his lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, spoke on his behalf, arguing that her client did not want to say anything that Jabbari could use against him in her civil suit.
Chaudhry says Majors is “committed to growing as a person” and will complete his court-mandated programs “with an open heart.”
He has lost his entire career,” Chaudhry told the court. “This was the most difficult year of his life.
Grace Jabbari accuses Jonathan Majors of not being sorry
Jabari was not silent. while holding back tears, she accused him Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star that he is not sorry and does not admit his guilt in the matter.
“He's not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility,” Jabari said. “He's going to do it again and hurt other women, adding that 'He thinks he's above the law.'
Jabbari said Majors had led her to believe the two were in a romantic relationship but, in reality, isolated her from the rest of the world and cut her off from family and friends.
“I was so emotionally dependent on him,” she said. “I became a different person around him – small, scared and vulnerable.”
