NEW YORK Actor Jonathan Majors appeared in Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday in person for the first time as he faces charges that he assaulted a woman in March.

Majors entered the domestic violence portion of the New York City Criminal Court, wearing a brown suit and carrying two books in his hand, one appearing to be a Bible. Alongside him were his attorneys and new girlfriend, actress Meagan Good.

Inside the small, dimly lit courtroom Majors awaited his turn to approach the judge, sitting next to Good with a blank stare and in an almost prayer-like trance.

During Majors status conference, Judge Rachel S. Pauley informed Majors and his lawyer Priya Chaudhry, that the actor must stay away from the individual who filed assault allegations as part of the order for protection, requested by the Manhattan district attorneys office.

Majors was arrested after a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman in New York City on March 25. The New York City Police Department stated that the woman told officers he had assaulted her and was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to her head and neck.

Majors, who recently made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has denied the assault allegations but has faced career fallout since his arrest.

According to the NYPD, Majors was taken into custody without incident and was later charged with assault, attempted assault, harassment and aggravated harassment.

At the time of the arrest, Chaudhry, said her client was completely innocent and that video evidence and witness testimony would prove it, adding that the woman he allegedly assaulted had taken back her accusation.

Chaudhry said the woman was having an emotional crisis.
