Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. will surrender to police in New York City on Thursday to face a misdemeanor forcible touching charge, his attorney confirmed to ABC News.
The charge stems from an accusation that the actor groped a woman on Sunday at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar, a claim that Gooding Jr. has denied. The"People vs. O.J. Simpson" star plans to turn himself in at the NYPD's 25 Precinct between noon and 1 p.m. Thursday, according to his defense attorney Mark Jay Heller.In 2012, a group of women claimed he fondled them in a New Mexico bar, but Gooding Jr. told TMZ at the time that the allegations were"b-------." No charges were ever filed in that case.
That same year, he was also accused of pushing a female bartender in New Orleans, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The bartender later dropped all charges, according to reporting from CNN.
Not interested. Hes a good man.
Ahahah suddenly read “face groping” and I was like...
Sounds like another bulshit case so far...
Groping is a crime? Don't get me wrong, it's really really bad and disgusting thing to do. But is it a crime though? 🤔
Nice going Cuba. Destroy your carrear
Wtf...? Fame ,Money and they do stupid shit..he needs to be lock up...am broke ,no fame no looks.. and I dont need to do anything like that.
I dont know what he did, but i wonder how men will position themselves in dealing with women. In my culture year 1800's no man can touch even hold hands with a woman, you can have a shotgun wedding if your parents even see u holding hands with a man 😊
He got poop on his finger! Is that not punishment enough?
🥺
Can't be out there grabbing ass in 2019! Should've known better
Dayum.
Omg....really noooo!! 🤦🏻♀️
Who you gonna call?
Another one bites the dust that has no respect for women or boundaries. Who's next to be uncovered and exposed?
Lock him up and throw away the key, it is 2019!
I missed this. WHATTTTTTTT
His sports agent Tom Cruise better bail him out.
