Cuba Gooding Jr is unlikely to face prison following 2019 arrest for 'grabbing 29-year-old woman's breasts in nightclub'
The guilty plea came nearly three years after Gooding's arrest in the case that saw several delays as lawyers sought to get the charges reduced or dismissed. It had been scheduled to go to trial at least twice, with an April 2020 trial date scuttled as coronavirus cases surged in New York.
Gooding, 54, was arrested in June 2019 after a 29-year-old woman told police he squeezed her breast without her consent at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge. A few months later, he was charged in two additional cases as more women came forward to accuse him of abuse.
