Cuba Gooding, Jr. avoids jail time after pleading guilty to lesser charge

NEW YORK – Actor Cuba Gooding, Jr. will not face jail time for the forcible touching case against him in New York City after pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

Prosecutors say Gooding complete six months of alcohol and behavioral counseling, allowing them to change his previous misdemeanor plea to a noncriminal violation.

The 54-year-old pleaded guilty back in April to the misdemeanor charge for forcibly kissing a nightclub worker back in 2018.

It’s just one of dozens of accusations against the Oscar winner that came to light in the #MeToo era.
