Cuba Gooding Jr.’s trial on groping charges has been postponed until October 10.

Prosecutors said Tuesday they’re still waiting for evidence in the Oscar-winning Jerry Maguire star’s case. Jury selection had been set to start this week.

Gooding’s lawyers argued against the delay.

The actor is accused of placing his hand on a 29-year-old woman’s breast and squeezing it without her consent at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge near Times Square on June 9.

The woman told police she believed Gooding was intoxicated.
