A new Cuba Gooding Jr. accuser has claimed in a lawsuit that the actor raped her in a hotel room in 2013 after undressing himself and forcing himself on her while Mumford and Sons played in the background.
The actor is already on trial on six groping charges relating to three alleged incidents in New York between 2018 and 2019. On Tuesday, another woman filed a lawsuit under the name Jane Doe alleging the 2013 rape.
She claimed she met the actor in a lounge bar and that they went back to The Mercer Hotel where he asked her to go to his room with him for him to change his clothes.
Once inside, she claims he put on the music, took his own clothes off then groped her, feeling inside her halter-neck dress to touch her breasts with one hand, and using the other to grope her genitalia.
The woman claims in her lawsuit, which Page Six first reported, he then raped her vaginally and anally.
Gooding Jr.’s attorney Mark Heller denied her claims, saying: ‘The allegations are completely false. No complaint was lodged seven years ago.’
The allegations are the most serious of any that have been formally leveled against the actor.
It’s unclear if the woman took her allegations to the police either in 2013 or in the years since.
In addition to the three women involved in the criminal trial, several more women say Gooding Jr. groped them in different incidents going back years.
The government wants to use their testimony to support their case at his New York trial later this year.
The actor and his legal time are trying to fight it.
He has asked multiple times for the case to be thrown out but the judge is allowing it to proceed.
In his most recent appearance, last week, the actor’s lawyers argued that they should be allowed to question one of the women about her history as a sexual abuse victim and about the fact she’d complained she has small breasts.
