Judge Sets Early 2022 Start Date for Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Sex Abuse Trial

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge set a trial date for Cuba Gooding Jr.’s sexual abuse case. He is accused of inappropriately touching three different women in separate incidents.

Justice Curtis Farber scheduled the trial to finally start on February 1, 2022. Gooding Jr. was arrested more than two years ago on six counts of sexual abuse and forcible touching. 

“This case has been on my calendar for two years, going on three years. This is a firm trial date, and it has to go,” the judge said during the court date.

Gooding’s attorney, Peter Toumbekis, tried to have the date pushed back until later in 2022. He cited having other cases that were older as the reason for his argument. 

Gooding has pleaded guilty to all of the charges. If convicted on the top count, he faces up to a year in jail.

Three separate women have accused him of inappropriately touching them. A 30-year-old woman accused him of squeezing her breast at the Moxy Hotel in 2019. TAO server Natasha Ashworth accused him of grabbing her butt in October of 2018. And another woman accused him of “sexual contact without consent” at the Upper East Side nightclub LAVO.
