The alleged victim in a domestic violence incident with Jonathan Majors has been granted a full temporary order of protection by a New York Judge, and the Creed III actor is in full agreement with the measure.
“Today a judge granted a Full Temporary Order of Protection for the victim, per the People’s request and with the consent of defense counsel,” revealed the Manhattan District Attorney’s office Thursday. “At the time of arraignment, a Limited Temporary Order of Protection was granted.”
The order directs Majors to have no contact with the alleged victim. It remains in effect until at least the next court hearing, which is currently scheduled for May 9.
“This is standard in cases such as this, and we consented because Mr. Majors wants nothing to do with the woman who assaulted him,” the actor’s attorney Priya Chaudhry tells Deadline of why the defense went along with the order.
Even as Majors had been dropped by manager Entertainment 360 and publicist The Lede Company, as Deadline exclusively reported, and lost film and ad roles since his March 25 arrest, Chaudhry has continued to insist her client is not guilty. In fact, the lawyer has said that Majors is the victim here, not the aggressor.
“We have been transparent and cooperative with the District Attorney, including giving the District Attorney ample evidence, including witness statements, of Mr. Majors’ innocence,” Chaudhry added today. “In fact, we recently provided a forensic medical opinion from a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Doctor and Trauma Specialist who has examined the photos and videos of the woman and concludes, without hesitation, that the woman did not have any injuries at the nightclub and the injuries she later sustained did not come from
