Update: Cuba Gooding Jr.  to turn himself in to police  for allegedly groping woman in NYC

Oscar-winning actor, Cuba Gooding Jr. will turn himself in to police over allegations he groped a woman at a Manhattan nightspot.
 
The "Jerry Maguire" actor is expected to face a charge stemming from an alleged incident over the weekend at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge. 
 
His lawyer, Mark Heller confirmed that Cuba will surrender on Thursday to the NYPD special victims unit that's leading the investigation before going to court for an arraignment.
 
The 29-year-old woman told cops the actor grabbed her breast while they were socializing around 9 p.m. at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge on 7th Avenue in Midtown, Page Six reported.

The woman said Gooding was “highly intoxicated” and that, after the alleged grab, she got into an argument with him that had to be broken up by security.

 
The 51-year-old has denied the allegations. He told TMZ that he was at the bar partying with friends but didn't touch anyone. 
 
"I trust the system and will let the process speak for itself," Gooding said. There's a tape that shows what really happened and that's the most important thing — let's not take away from that."

In an interview with The Daily Mail, lawyer Mark Heller said he a watched surveillance video that shows his client's interactions with the 29-year-old woman at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge and it shows Gooding did nothing wrong.

 
Heller said he's reached out to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to discuss the video evidence.

'We're not sure if he's going to turn himself in,' Heller said. 'If he hasn't committed any crime, there's no reason for him to turn himself in. The video captures the whole evening and it shows he did nothing wrong. They can't arrest someone who did nothing wrong.'

 
Heller said the video shows Gooding doesn't touch the woman's breast, hug her or do anything inappropriate. He did note that the video merely shows the woman handing him a glass of water.
 
However, an NYPD source said police also watched the video and that it supports the woman's contention.

'I saw the video and there's no doubt he touches her breast,' the source said. 'We're not going against the victim. The video corroborates what she said.'

'It's a quick thing,' he said of the alleged groping. 'He's drunk, he's all over her. He puts his hands on her lap then touches her breast.'
'You don't notice a reaction immediately,' the source noted, but said the woman did call 911 to report the incident.

Surveillance video shows Cuba Gooding Jr. 'touching the thigh and breast' of his accuser in the presence of his girlfriend (Watch)



[Image: 5d0358a570544.PNG]
 
Surveillance video which appears to show Cuba Gooding Jr. touching the thigh and breast of the woman accusing him of groping has been released.
 
In the video obtained by TMZ,  Gooding and his girlfriend, Claudine De Niro were sitting on a couch in the Magic Hour Rooftop Lounge in NYC, when the accuser came and sat down next to them.  Almost immediately, Gooding reached over Claudine and gently placed his hand on the accuser's left thigh.
 

Seconds later, his hand moves up to her breast before the accuser puts her hand on his. What happens next is open to interpretation.


The video also shows another man who walked over and then stood in front of the group. He placed his hands on the shoulders of Gooding and the accuser, as he spoke to them before taking away a drink away from the actor's hand. A few more people join the group, and everyone's casually chatting for a few more minutes. They all walk away separately but in the same direction  about 3 minutes after the initial touching. There's no argument.


A few minutes later, Cuba and Claudine were downstairs lounging on a couch and making out. A security man for the bar, was standing next to the couch when the accuser approached him and started arguing.

 
 
According to TMZ,  the accuser whose face was blurred to protect her identity, told the security: "Yes, he did."
 
While the pair were still arguing, Cuba got up, stumbled and then walked right past the accuser and left. Claudine and the security guard immediately followed him as he left. 

This comes after the Oscar-winning actor was arrested yesterday evening on suspicion of forcible touching after he turned himself in.

 
According to police, Gooding touched a woman without her consent on Sunday night in Midtown Manhattan. The woman filed a police report.
 
The 29-year-old woman told cops the actor grabbed her breast while they were socializing around 9 p.m. at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge on 7th Avenue in Midtown. She also claimed that Gooding was “highly intoxicated” and that, after the alleged grab, she got into an argument with him that had to be broken up by security.
 
Gooding denied the accusations when approached by TMZ on Wednesday. “I trust the system and the process,” he said. “There’s a tape that shows what really happened. That’s the most important thing.”
