The 51-year-old "Jerry Maguire" star was arraigned Thursday after turning himself in to police.
A 29-year-old woman told police Gooding grabbed her breast while he was intoxicated around Sunday night at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge.
Gooding's lawyer, Mark Heller, said security video from the bar showed no criminality on his part and will exonerate him.
"There is not the slightest scintilla of inappropriate conduct on his part," Mr Heller said.
Gooding's next court date is June 26.
