- Story Text:Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. appeared in court in New York on Thursday (October 10) for a hearing ahead of the start of his scheduled trail on groping charges.
Gooding arrived with his legal team in the morning and spent about 12 minutes inside the courthouse in lower Manhattan before leaving in a waiting SUV.
Gooding, 51, was charged with one misdemeanor count of forcible touching after an unidentified woman said the actor had touched her breasts. He has denied the allegation.
The actor, who is divorced, is one of dozens of men in politics, entertainment, sports and the business world who have been accused of sexual misconduct since allegations against movie producer Harvey Weinstein triggered the #MeToo movement.
Gooding won a supporting actor Oscar in 1997 for "Jerry Maguire" and had roles in "A Few Good Men," "The Butler" and the television miniseries "The People v. O.J. Simpson." - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
