Actor Jonathan Majors will have to undergo a yearlong counseling program, but avoided jail time when sentenced to probation on Monday for assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a high-profile case that derailed the once-promising star’s career. The former Marvel franchise star had faced up to a year behind bars after he was convicted of misdemeanor assault by a Manhattan jury in December.

The jury ultimately convicted him of one assault charge and a harassment violation, though acquitted him on a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment. Majors was originally slated to be sentenced in February, but his lawyers sought to dismiss the conviction. A Manhattan judge denied the motion last week. Majors had hoped his two-week criminal trial would vindicate him and restore his status in Hollywood.
