Cuba facing another rape charge:
The news of Cuba rescuing a man on fire comes after the ‘American Horror’ Story’ actor was accused of raping a woman twice in a hotel room in 2013.
A woman, who identified only as Jane Doe claimed she met Cuba in a bar in Manhattan seven years ago and was invited for drinks at a nearby hotel. She filed a civil lawsuit on August 18th.
The woman is seeking a jury trial, and compensatory and punitive damages – alleged that he removed her clothes in the hotel room and raped her twice.
It has also been reported that she was left with “emotional pain, suffering, and a loss of enjoyment and life.”
Cuba’s attorney Mark Jay Heller denied the allegations stating:
The allegations are false. It’s an event that took place seven years ago. No complaint was ever lodged. We believe the allegations and the complaint will be dismissed.
A week prior to the lawsuit, Gooding Jr. appeared in Manhattan state court and pleaded not guilty to six other misdemeanor charges of sexual abuse and forcible touching.
