BREAKING: In a stunning last-minute move, a civil lawsuit accusing Cuba Gooding Jr. of raping a woman in 2013 was settled Tuesday just moments before jury selection was supposed to begin in Manhattan federal court.
Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty to a harassment violation, and after completing an alcohol and behavior modification counseling course, walked away without a criminal record. He has steadfastly denied all allegations of wrongdoing, and his lawyers have“I apologize for making anybody ever feel inappropriately touched,” Gooding Jr. said. “I am a celebrity figure. I come into contact with people. I never want them to feel slighted or uncomfortable in any way.
The three women include Kelsey Harbert, whose claim that Gooding Jr. touched her at a bar in 2019 spurred the actor’s criminal case. In a separate order, however, Crotty also ordered that Jane Doe had to reveal her identity before trial. The woman alleges that she left the bar through the front entrance to join Gooding Jr. in a cab, understanding that her friends would meet her shortly. When they arrived at The Mercer, Gooding Jr. said he needed to “change his clothes” and ushered her to his hotel room on the fifth floor.
Gooding Jr. allegedly blocked her escape and pushed her onto the bed, before the lawsuit states he took off his clothes and “forcibly and without consent put one hand in her halter top to touch” her breasts. The woman told the actor “no” and tried to push away his hands, but the lawsuit states that Gooding Jr. ignored her and “forcibly stroked her genitals under her underwear.”
