The unnamed woman who accused actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of raping her in a hotel room in New York City in 2013 has settled their legal dispute.
The agreement was reached as jury selection in a federal civil trial that was anticipated to feature negative testimony against him was about to get underway.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner has maintained that his interactions with the woman were mutually consenting.
Numerous women have accused him of groping them and touching them inappropriately.
Mr. Gooding admitted guilt last year to kissing a woman against her will.
As part of a plea deal with prosecutors in that case, charges against three additional accusers were dropped.
But this civil case in Manhattan was scheduled to hear the testimony of those three women, who he is accused of abusing between 2009 and 2019.
On behalf of a woman only known as Jane Doe, the lawsuit was brought in 2020. $418,000 ($6 million) in damages were requested by the plaintiff.
