Cuba Gooding Jr. has been accused of touching a woman inappropriately at a Manhattan night club.
A spokesman for the New York Police
Department and sources within the department confirmed to multiple media
organizations that they’re investigating a possible charge of forcible
touching against the Oscar-winning actor.
The woman, who is 30, according to the New York Post’s Page Six,
filed a police report after Gooding allegedly groped her breast at
about 9pm on Sunday at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge. The
alleged victim said Gooding was “highly intoxicated” and his encounter
with her ended in an argument that required security.
When contacted about the story, a
spokesperson for the department told Yahoo Entertainment, “The NYPD
takes sexual assault extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a
victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive
investigation, and offer support and services to survivors.”
