According to the search results, Cuba Gooding Jr. settled a civil sex abuse case just as the trial was set to begin. He pleaded guilty to forcibly touching a woman and was permitted to plead guilty to a non-criminal harassment violation, eliminating his criminal record and preventing further penalties. He was also accused of rape in a lawsuit brought forward by a woman whose lawyers said she was entitled to $2 million in compensatory damages and $4 million in punitive damages for the "significant emotional distress" she suffered after meeting Gooding. He settled with his accuser, and the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.
