Breaking: Cuba Gooding Jr. appears to touch his accuser in a surveillance video despite his not guilty plea.
At the time, Gooding’s lawyer Mark J. Heller told reporters at the police station and The Times that the hours of video they reviewed did not show any inappropriate conduct or anything that could be interpreted as such.
However, hours later, TMZ published the surveillance video said to be shot inside the Manhattan nightclub on Sunday. It is unclear how the gossip site obtained the footage.The “Jerry Maguire” star was arraigned Thursday before Judge Herbert Moses, who released him without bail. Attorney Peter Toumbekis served as Gooding’s defense counsel in court. On Wednesday, the actor said he would be turning himself in because he’s innocent and because he trusts the system.
Prosecutors said that Gooding placed his hand on the woman’s breast and squeezed and that she did not consent to it. The woman told police she believed he was drunk at the time. According to the complaint, Gooding “intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly touched the sexual and other intimate parts of another person for the purpose of degrading and abusing such person, and for the purpose of gratifying the defendant’s sexual desire; the defendant subjected another person to sexual contact without the latter’s consent.”
