Actor Jonathan Majors is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday after a jury found him guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend last year.
Majors, 34, was convicted of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment, but acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment in a split verdict following a trial in December 2023.
He is scheduled to appear in New York Criminal Court at 9 a.m. ET. on Tuesday. He faces up to a year in prison on the two counts.
Majors declined to testify in his defense during the trial. In an exclusive sit-down interview with ABC News Live's Linsey Davis last month, he said he was "shocked and afraid" upon hearing the verdict.
"I'm standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, 'How is that possible based off the evidence, based off the prosecution's evidence, let alone our evidence? How is that possible?" the actor said.
