For some time now, several claims of sexual assault have been brought up against Cuba Gooding Jr., and at least one of these cases has recently been resolved. The 54-year-old acclaimed actor has been accused of harassing three women in various New York City locations in both 2018 and 2019, and it was announced on April 13th that Gooding has pleaded guilty to one of the claims. During a recent hearing, Gooding pleaded guilty to "forcibly touching" a LAVO nightclub waitress. "He can withdraw the misdemeanor plea and plead guilty to a lesser infraction of harassment," according to Gooding's bargain if he attends counseling sessions for six months. In other words, while he is not required to serve any time in prison, he is to stay away from alcohol and continue therapy.
