Hollywood actor Cuba Gooding Jr pleaded guilty Wednesday to forcibly touching a woman at a Manhattan nightclub in 2018. The sexual misconduct allegation was among many made against Gooding, who was arrested three years ago by the New York Police Department.

Media reported that Gooding, 54, previously pleaded not guilty to this charge and several other misdemeanor counts.

Gooding was arrested in June 2019 on a misdemeanor charge after a woman told police he touched her without her consent a few days earlier at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge. A few months later, according to ABC News, two more women came forward and accused him of forcibly touching them in 2018 at Tao Downtown and the Lavo New York nightclub, respectively.

In Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday, Gooding told the judge that he “kissed the waitress on her lips” without her consent at the Lavo nightclub.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said the plea deal does not call for any jail time and instead requires Gooding to have no new arrests and continue “alcohol and behavior modification treatment” for six more months. If he fulfills these terms, he can withdraw his plea and submit a new one for a lesser, second-degree harassment charge. If he does not, he could face up to a year in jail.

Gooding’s attorney Peter Toumbekis said in a statement that Gooding “entered into a re-pleader today whereby in six months his case will be disposed of with a violation, which is not a crime, resulting in no criminal record.”

The judge previously ruled that if the case had gone to trial, prosecutors would have been able to seek testimony from two women whose allegations did not lead to criminal charges, and who were among 19 additional people who have accused Gooding of misconduct. An assistant district attorney, Coleen Balbert, revealed in court Wednesday — and on the record for the first time — that the judge had reversed this ruling, the office said.

Gooding, who broke out with 1991’s “Boyz N the Hood,” is best known for his Oscar-winning turn in the 1996 film “Jerry Maguire.” He earned an Emmy nomination in 2016 for playing the title role in “The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story.” He appeared to take a break from acting after his 2019 arrest but has since starred in a few films, one of which is in postproduction.

In January, Gooding asked a federal judge to dismiss a $6 million lawsuit from 2020 claiming he raped a woman twice in 2013. Gooding has denied the allegations.
