American actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty by a New York jury on Monday (December 18) on charges he attacked his ex-girlfriend in the back of a car.

Majors, who was seen as one of the future faces of Disney's Marvel superhero franchise until the allegations stalled his rapid rise, had been charged with two counts of assault and two counts of harassment, all misdemeanors.
