Oscar winning actor, Cuba Gooding Jr. has been hit with new charges on Thursday after showing up at court for possible jury selection for his groping trial.
The 51-year-old actor was already charged with forcible touching and misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly groping a woman's breast at a nightclub in Manhattan in June.
In Thursday, he showed up at court with his lawyers but was hit with a sealed grand jury indictment.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has not shared details of the new charges, saying only that he has been 'indicted on charges included in this docket as well as an additional incident previously uncharged.'
The new indictment was filed on Thursday morning, before Gooding Jr.'s 9.30am scheduled appearance.
The star will return to court on October 15th and the indictment will then be made public.
Gooding Jr., 51, was arrested in June after the 29-year-old woman, who has not been named, phoned police claiming that he grabbed her breast in front of his girlfriend while he was drunk at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar in Manhattan.
He has always denied it, saying that she tried to come on to him and called the police when he rejected her.
