On October 25, Grace Jabbari was arrested by the New York Police Department on charges of assault and criminal mischief. In a statement obtained by People, Jabbari’s lawyer, Ross Kramer, described the arrest as “unwarranted,” adding that facts and evidence pointed to his client’s innocence. “Before we walked into the police precinct, the DA’s Office made clear that they would not be charging Ms. Jabbari with any offense,” Kramer continued. “It is unfortunate and re-traumatizing when a survivor of intimate partner violence is forced to endure an arrest, but Ms. Jabbari is an extremely strong and resilient person who is determined to move forward.” But while she might not be facing prosecution, Jabbari is still expected to make a court appearance to address the new charges.
The recent arrest comes only shortly after Judge Michael Gaffey, presiding over a New York City courtroom, denied Majors’ motion to have the lawsuit against him dismissed. Consequently, Majors’ case is expected to go to trial which is slated to begin on November 29, per People.
