A preliminary hearing ended Thursday with 40-year-old Aretha Wilson, a former model from Ontario, being ordered to face one count of assault with a deadly weapon. DiCaprio was not in attendance.
Wilson allegedly cursed at the Inception star and threw a drinking glass in his face as he was about to leave a 2005 Hollywood Hills party, resulting in a deep cut on his ear and neck that required multiple stitches.
Wilson was returned to Los Angeles in the five-year-old case after waiving extradition from Canada.She pleaded not guilty and remains jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund Willcox Clarke studied the photos of the injuries and said Thursday that "this would not be an injury that would be called trivial or moderate, in my view."
Wilson is scheduled to appear in court on September 9 and the trial could begin as early as October.
Freddy Sayegh, Wilson's attorney, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
