(CNN) — Former Marvel actor Jonathan Majors’ conviction on assault and harassment charges will stand after the judge in the case rejecteda bid to set it aside.
The charges stemmed from a domestic dispute involving Majors and his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
Through his attorney, Majors denied the allegations against him in a statement to CNN in August.
In December, a New York jury found Majors guilty of one count of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a non-criminal charge of harassment as a violation. He was acquitted on another assault charge and one count of aggravated harassment.
Majors’ attorney filed a motion in February asking Judge Michael Gaffey to set aside the verdict and acquit him of the charges.
In a subsequent filing, prosecutors urged the judge to deny Majors’ motion.
The judge denied the defense motion Monday, according to a copy of the decision obtained by CNN Wednesday.
In a statement provided to CNN, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry said he “feels disappointed by the outcome of the motion, yet he upholds respect for the process.”
