Following the verdict, Jabbari's attorney Ross Kramer reacted to the conviction in the abuse case stemmed from the actor's alleged assault on Jabbari on March 25.

"We are gratified to see justice served by today’s guilty verdict," said Kramer, adding "Ms Jabbari testified publicly and truthfully, even though reliving these traumatic events on the witness stand was obviously painful."

"We are grateful to the jurors and the Judge for their attention and patience, and to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for their hard work and support," he added.

Jabbari, who is a 30-year-old dancer from England, disclosed bombshell details of the actor's alleged mistreatment of her as she emotionally testified that during the March incident, Majors twisted her arm after he hit her in the head.

Inside Jonathan Majors' abuse case

Following another incident, Jabbari was allegedly dissuaded from seeking medical attention after he yelled at her for coming home drunk and went on throwing items in her presence.

A cache of evidence relating to the abuse case was released by Judge Michael Gaffey last week. The evidence included a recording of Majors calling himself "a great man," a 911 call, footage that showed him shoving ex-girlfriend Jabbari into an SUV on the night of the alleged abuse and several text messages.

The details of the documents displayed Majors' pattern of disturbing behavior against Jabbari. The Manhattan district attorney's office issued a statement regarding the evidence presented at court.

"The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day," read the statement.

"Today a jury determined that [a] pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend," the statement added.

Addressing the verdict, Brittany Henderson, lawyer for Jabbari, said the jurors had delivered "justice" and her client hoped her case would "inspire other survivors to speak out."

"Justice has been served by today’s verdict. We are thankful to the jury, the court, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for giving this case the time and attention that it merits," she stated on Monday, December 18.
