Cuba Gooding Jr. appears at hearing as lawyer seeks groping case dismissal

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AP) _ Cuba Gooding Jr. arrived in court Wednesday morning for a hearing on charges that the actor grabbed a woman's breast without consent at a New York City bar.

Lawyers for Cuba Gooding Jr. provided a court with video they say will show the actor did not grope the woman.


The prosecution, meanwhile, presented the court Wednesday with a deposition from Gooding's accuser.

The defense is seeking a dismissal of the case, saying delays could cost the actor film opportunities he's lined up. However, Judge Keisha Espinal said prosecutors need a chance to respond in writing.

Gooding nodded when he was asked outside court if he thinks his case will eventually be dismissed.

As he waited for his ride, a passerby yelled: ``Show us the money, Cuba!''

Gooding was arrested June 13. He has pleaded not guilty to forcible touching and sexual abuse charges.  He is free on his own recognizance.

His next hearing is in August.

Heller is also questioning the accuser's credibility, saying her blog posts are indicative of a ``troubled mentality .''

A conviction could put him behind bars for up to a year.
