<p>Actor Cuba Gooding Jr and the woman who made rape accusations against him have reached a settlement on the day the trial was supposed to start, reported Fox News. Just as jury selection was about to begin, both parties submitted a court document confirming the agreement. In the civil court case, Gooding Jr was accused of committing forcible rape, and the anonymous woman had initially sought $6 million in damages. Previously, the judge had ordered the woman to reveal her legal name before proceeding with the trial. However, the deadline for submitting the amended document, which included the woman's name, passed without any submission.</p>

<p>Gloria Allred, the plaintiff's attorney, declined to comment. On Friday, the judge ruled that testimony from three other accusers would be allowed during the trial. These women had accused Gooding Jr of sexual assaults in 2009, 2012, and 2019.</p>

<p>Gooding Jr's presence at the civil trial was not mandatory, leaving uncertainty about his potential participation in his defence.

<p>The civil trial followed a criminal trial last year, during which Gooding Jr reached a settlement with Manhattan prosecutors. As a result, the actor avoided jail time and a criminal record.</p>
