The alleged victim, Jordyn Ladell, named herself in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter shortly before the start of Thor's trial. Thor's trial began on August 17, 2015. At that time, 13 of the charges against him had been dropped in recent weeks. The only remaining charge was performing a lewd act on a child. The jury began deliberations after the trial ended on August 25. The next day, he was found guilty. In October, Thor's sentencing was postponed until November 20. That same month, Thor hired defense attorney Mark Geragos, to replace his previous Lawyer. On November 20, Thor's sentencing was postponed again until January 8, 2016. On January 8, Thor's sentencing was delayed until February 29, after Geragos filed a motion for a new trial based on insufficient evidence and "ineffective assistance of counsel". In March 2016, the judge denied Geragos' requests and reaffirmed the guilty verdict. On April 27, 2016, Thor was sentenced to six years in state prison.
