Actor Cuba Gooding Jr was charged with groping a woman at a Manhattan bar last weekend
Cuba Gooding Jr's first major role came in the groundbreaking 1991 movie about life in the inner city,"Boyz n the Hood."
"Get well, Big Papi," Gooding said while passing a phalanx of cameras and reporters in the courthouse lobby.A 29-year-old woman told police that Gooding placed his hand on her breast and squeezed it without her consent Sunday night at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge. The woman said she believed Gooding was intoxicated.
The video could be key evidence for prosecutors, but Gooding's lawyer said the footage showed "not the slightest scintilla of inappropriate conduct" and will exonerate him."Nothing in the video could even be considered ambiguous, and I frankly am shocked and horrified that this case is being prosecuted," he added.
Heller also disputed allegations in media reports from a second woman said to have come forward in recent days and told police that Gooding grabbed her buttocks at a New York City restaurant in 2008."There is no pattern of conduct," Heller said in an interview Thursday. "It is not uncommon for people to come out of the woodwork when these things happen."
