Gooding's lawyer calls the ruling a 'tremendous victory.' A judge set Cuba Gooding Jr.'s trial date for Apr. 21.
Cuba Gooding Jr.'s groping trial will begin on Apr. 21, a judge declared Wednesday. Gooding has been charged with forcible touching and sexual abuse stemming from three alleged incidents. Judge Curtis Farber ruled that two additional women who have accused the 52-year-old actor of unwanted sexual touching will be allowed to testify.
Judge Farber said in his order that admitting all 19 witnesses would result in"undue prejudice," but that the"probative value of admitting a limited selection of incidents outweighs any such prejudice."
