Cuba Gooding Jr. has pleaded not guilty to an indictment that includes allegations from a new accuser in his New York City sexual misconduct case.

Prosecutors at Thursday's arraignment said they've also heard from several more women who could testify that the 51-year-old actor has had a habit of groping women over the years.
