Here’s what CNN reported:
Actor Jonathan Majors was sentenced to a 52-week mandatory in-person domestic violence prevention program for the assault and harassment of his former girlfriend during a domestic dispute, a New York criminal judge ruled Monday.
Majors will have to give DNA as it’s his first conviction, and pay a separate $250 surcharge, Judge Michael J. Gaffey explained.
There were no punishments in connection with the non-criminal violation of harassment in connection with the incident, and the assault misdemeanor was conditionally discharged.
Judge Gaffey ultimately said the probation report indicated jail is not necessary, but Majors could face jail time if he violates the rules of his sentencing.
Majors, a rising star who has appeared in Disney’s Marvel franchise and “Creed III,” was convicted in December of one count of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a non-criminal charge of harassment as a violation.

Per ABC News:
Jonathan Majors, whose promising acting career stalled after a domestic violence conviction in New York, was sentenced Monday to domestic violence programming after the judge decided “jail is not necessary.”
Majors must complete a 52-week in-person batterers intervention program in Los Angeles, continue mental health counseling and stay away from the victim, his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, said Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Michael Gaffey.
Majors faced a maximum sentence of 364 days in jail, but the Manhattan district attorney’s office did not seek jail time. Instead, prosecutor Kelli Galaway said domestic violence programming along with an order of protection against Jabbari would suffice.
