As the year goes on more and more celebrity men are being outed as sexual predators.
Kevin Spacey has been on the chopping block, alongside Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood creeps like Johnny Depp.
The most recent addition to this less-than-ideal club is Cuba Gooding Jr. who was arrested on Thursday for allegedly groping a woman at a New York City nightspot.
The Telegraph with more:
The 51-year-old Oscar-winning star of “Jerry Maguire” denies the allegations and pleaded not guilty to forcible touching and sexual abuse charges at a night court arraignment.
A 29-year-old woman is claiming that Gooding placed his hand on her breast and squeezed it without her consent on Sunday night at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge.
A CCTV video shows Gooding at the bar with the woman in question:
The video could be key evidence for prosecutors, while Gooding’s lawyers think the tape will help his case.
“Mr. Gooding has not acted inappropriately in any shape or form,” lawyer Mark Heller said.
“Nothing in the video could even be considered ambiguous, and I frankly am shocked and horrified that this case is being prosecuted,” he added.
A conviction could put Gooding behind bars for up to a year. He is due back in court on June 26.
