Excerpts from article:
...A Hollywood luminary rankled a judge during his Manhattan court appearance Wednesday in his sexual misconduct case - and it wasn't Harvey Weinstein.
...Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. appeared before a judge to finalize a trial date for allegedly groping a woman at a Midtown bar last year - but first got an earful from Judge Curtis Farber for showing up more than a half-hour late.
..."I apologize, we hit traffic," said Peter Toumbekis, one of two attorneys representing Gooding in the case.
...Gooding faces multiple counts of forcible touching and sexual abuse for his alleged drunken run-in with a fellow reveler at a Midtown rooftop bar in June.
...Gooding allegedly pinched one of those women on the rear at the Tao Downtown nightclub, and forcibly kissed the other, a female server at Upper East Side hotspot LAVO. Gooding is criminally charged in three total cases: the Magic Hour incident, plus the Tao and LAVO cases.
