(CNN) Manhattan prosecutors in Cuba Gooding Jr.'s groping case said in court Thursday that more women have come forward with accusations of unwanted touching by the Oscar-winning actor, bringing the total number of women to come forward to 30. He was flanked by his attorney Peter Toumbekis, who argued in court Thursday to be able to question people seen in a video around the time Gooding allegedly abused women. One of those incidents allegedly involves a waitress at a club who says Gooding forcibly touched her in September 2018. Toumbekis argued that he should be able to cross-examine accusers about past statements they've made publicly. He also argued to be able to question the victim about her proclivity for threesomes over monogamous relationships.
