Cuba Gooding Jr. trial date has been set over the allegations of him groping a 29-year-old woman at a rooftop bar in New York this past June. The judge decided not to dismiss his criminal case, and instead set a date for next month to begin the trial.
Gooding is being charged with forcible touching, a misdemeanor, and sex abuse to the third degree, all of which he denies. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail, according to an article in USA Today.
If you missed it, the case stems from a night out where a woman claims Gooding drunkenly grabbed her breast. However, he argues that nothing happened, and he and his team believe he will walk away free. However, Judge Chu believes the trial is necessary as this is a “rare case.”
According to CNN, the trial date is for September 3, 2019, in New York.
