Grace Jabbari’s ex-girlfriend Jonathan Majors calls the district attorney’s decision to drop charges “serious injustice”

The accuser of “Creed” actor Jonathan Majors, his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, has not been prosecuted by the district attorney after the courts’ ruling dismissing his sexual harassment case. Majors, via legal counsel, has referred to the choice to not pursue his accuser’s case as a “serious injustice.”

After an apparent domestic argument with Jabbari, his girlfriend at the time, the actor was detained in Manhattan on March 25 and charged with assault and aggravated harassment. The trial for Majors is set to start on November 29.

On October 25, Grace Jabbari turned herself in for custody at the Manhattan 10th precinct, where she was being investigated for minor assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief. The Hollywood Reporter claims that the arrest was related to a cross-complaint Majors had made against the woman in June.

Jabbari received an investigatory card, or I-Card, in late June after the filing of the cross complaint. An I-Card is an internal NYPD document that notifies police that there is probable cause to make an arrest.

But according to court records pertaining to the actor from “Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” prosecutors told 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” after they learned about the I-Card.

Additionally, on September 26 and September 21, respectively, this was revealed to Jabbari’s attorney and the defense counsel in Majors’ case.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office said on October 25 that Grace Jabbari’s case “lacks prosecutorial merit” and that it has been “officially declined to prosecute.” The prosecution against her is thus now over and sealed.

The exact same day, Jonathan Majors’ civil lawyer Dustin Pusch issued a statement on his client’s behalf, asserting that the District Attorney “unilaterally and without explanation has decided not to prosecute Ms. Jabbari for her misdeeds.”

“Mr. Majors is appreciative that the NYPD verified his story, but he feels that the District Attorney’s case against him is being pursued unfairly. The statement says, “These latest findings raise serious concerns about the fairness and openness of the prosecutors’ discretion, due process, and equal protection under the law.

Cary London, a civil rights and criminal defense lawyer at Shulman & Hill in Manhattan, expressed his opinion that it is extremely unusual for the NYPD to have received a complaint from Majors in June—after the incident had happened in March—and that Jabbari’s I-Card may have been a “publicity stunt.”

“The Defense Team behind Mr. Majors is only doing a media stunt with Ms. Jabbari’s arrest. Because it is seen as retaliatory, the NYPD typically never arrests the Complaining Witness, Ms. Jabbari, in cases involving domestic abuse, he said.
