groping case

Although his lawyer in the groping case made a handful of attempts to get the charges reduced or dismissed altogether, Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. has decided to plead guilty of forcibly touching a woman at a New York nightclub back in 2018.

Cuba Gooding Jr. will go on trial in February in his New York City groping case, a judge said Monday, with prosecutors planning to portray the actor as a serial offender and the defense contending the case is an example of #MeToo run amok.
