The misdemeanor is the top count in the New York State Supreme Court indictment Gooding Jr. faced on Wednesday, for forcibly kissing a woman at a nightclub in September 2018. The actor also admitted to Under the terms of the plea, Gooding Jr. has to continue the alcohol and behavior modification treatment he began in 2019 for six more months and have no new arrests. If the actor follows those terms, he can plead to harassment in the second degree and possibly have his case sealed.
Gooding Jr.'s attorney Peter Toumbekis told ET,"Today, two of the three cases were dismissed, and as for the third case, Cuba Gooding Jr. entered into a re-pleader today whereby in six months his case will be disposed of with a violation, which is not a crime, resulting in no criminal record." in June 2019 after a then-30-year-old woman alleged he squeezed her breast while the two were at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge on the night of June 9, 2018.
According to court documents obtained by ET, Gooding Jr. was accused of pinching the buttocks of a woman without her consent while at TAO nightclub in NYC on Oct. 24, 2018. In the docs, the woman says she confronted the Oscar winner after the alleged incident, and he claimed he only pinched her back, not her buttocks. The accuser further alleges that Gooding Jr. also made a"sexually suggestive remark" to her earlier that same night.
That indictment included 12 witnesses with allegations for which Gooding Jr was not charged, but prosecutors included to show a pattern of behavior.
