CUBA GOODING JUNIOR: Surrenders to NYPD
Written by KingCnote on June 14, 2019
UPDATE (9:45 p.m. ET): Gooding pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance. He’s due back in court on June 26th.
Cuba Gooding Junior is in NYPD custody.
Gooding has made good on his promise to turn himself in to police today (Thursday) — even though his lawyer had cast some doubt on that this morning. He’s been charged with one count of misdemeanor criminal touching.
As we’ve reported, a woman accused an intoxicated Gooding of groping her at a Midtown Manhattan bar on Sunday. He denies the allegation, and attorney Mark Heller says security footage will exonerate him.
Meanwhile, a second woman has come forward with a groping allegation, but it dates back to 2008, beyond the statute of limitations in New York. (TMZ, New York Daily News)
