14 Women Have Now Accused Cuba Gooding Jr. Of Sexual Misconduct
Prosecutors declined to move forward with tackling at least one sexual assault claim against Cuba Gooding Jr.
The actor and Oscar winner eluded being charged with grabbing a woman’s butt at an L.A. party because prosecutors didn’t feel as though there was enough evidence to prove their case, TMZ reports.
Cuba reportedly fondled the woman sometime over the past year, and she came forward and filed a police report and an investigation ensued.
After a probe the L.A. City Attorney pushed back on moving forward with charges of misdemeanor sexual battery in August, citing a lack of evidence.
“Cuba doesn’t recall this case. He’s out every night of his life. He meets so many people. He interacts with so many people — he can’t remember all the people he meets,” said Gooding Jr.’s attorney, Mark Heller.
Gooding Jr’s still got an uphill battle in front of him.
As TheGrio previously reported, on Tuesday he made a court appearance in New York and pleaded not guilty to four counts of sexual misconduct, including two counts of forcible touching and two more of third-degree sexual abuse during an arraignment on other cases he’s facing.
Gooding faced accusations relating to incidents that allegedly took place at a rooftop bar and in a nightclub in Manhattan in 2018. In the indictment, prosecutors say they have received 12 other accusations from additional women dating back to 2001, which they believe shows a pattern of inappropriate behavior.
According to CBS New York, a 29-year-old woman is accusing Gooding of grabbing her breast on June 9 while they were both at a bar near Times Square.
While the alleged victim admitted to police that she thought he was intoxicated, she was clear that the physical contact occurred without her consent. The actor, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in “Jerry Maguire” in 1997, was arrestedfour days later after turning himself in to police. He pleaded not guilty to forcible touching and was subsequently released on his own recognizance.
Gooding’s attorneys have vigorously and consistently denied the accusations against him.

Hollywood actor Cuba Gooding Jr. has now been accused of sexual misconduct by 14 women.
Cuba Gooding Jr. appeared in a New York court Tuesday for his arraignment. The Boyz N The Hood actor pleaded not guilty to two instances of sexual misconduct.
According to reports, the new charges involve an alleged incident in October 2018, and prosecutors have claimed that they are aware of 12 other uncharged incidents which all took place from 2001 to 2018 in New York, California, Texas, Nevada and New Mexico occurring at bars, clubs, hotels, and restaurants.
Gooding Jr. has been charged with third-degree misdemeanor sexual abuse and forcible touching.
"When this woman verbally confronted the defendant immediately after being pinched, defendant claimed that he had only pinched her back, not her buttocks," the indictment against the star reads. "While continuing to deny his conduct, defendant raised his voice and stated in substance that he would never return to that nightclub again. Earlier that night, the defendant had made a sexually suggestive remark to this same woman."

This Brotha was set up, he didn't really realized this. We must be careful dealing with a non-black american woman. I know there some sistas will do the same, but they will do if they dislike you. White woman and other groups are a opportunist to gain from black men. Sorry brothas, you're Niggas need to wake-up! Cuba Gooding Jr is one of those Niggas that learns the hard way. I hope he will win all his case. This is way I stop dealing with other groups....f*** them! Always bet on black...M****F**kers.

They can sue on many grounds, somde dont because they sre happy charges sre drop and others know they many recover anything after spending legal fees
Now y’all want to drop the charges. I wish men could sue these hoes for false charges when it deals with rape or any level of false sexual assault claims, then hopefully the foolishness will stop.

Dumb negroid got 'whites disease, feel sorry for none of these clowns, Bill Cosby, O.J, and all the rest of them, they are property of whites, they get the suckers money all the time.
That butch clearly see that he is sitting with his girl, who by the way is the daughter of a Hollywood heavyweight Raging bull himself. However gonna slide up in his personal DM and push up herself. The girlfriend should have slapped her back to her seat. But Cuba is too damn friendly for his own good. It look like he wanted her out of his face already and used his hand to block her away off him. Her drunk boyfriend came over frightened to see a star up close and personal also jumped on Cuba’s dick riding hard. At some point you can see that Cuba was like I need to get the guck outta here. Lo and behold this b**** go tell the security some bullshit after Cuba bounced with his girl. Da struggle is really. That b**** now want Cuba to “ show me the money” White devil.
