Jonathan Majors was convicted on Monday of assaulting his former girlfriend after a two-week trial that the actor hoped would salvage his damaged reputation and restore his status as an emerging Hollywood star.

A New York jury found Majors, 34, guilty of assault and harassment. He was acquitted of a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment.
