The Sun first reported the news, writing that the 24-year-old artist appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Monday to deny the allegations.
He pleaded not guilty and was released on unconditional bail. A provisional trial date has been set for January 3, 2023.
In the accusations, the woman claims that Alexander assaulted her twice in the West End on June 1 and four additional times the next day, once in a taxi and three times at his home in Notting Hill.
“Alex is shocked by the allegations, which he denies, and looks forward to clearing his name in court,” a representative for Rex Orange County said in a statement to Variety. “He is unable to make any further comment because of the ongoing proceedings.”
Rex Orange County is best known for his 2017 hits “Best Friend” and “Loving Is Easy.”
The news comes just as jury selection is starting for Harvey Weinstein‘s Los Angeles trial, who is already serving a 25+ year sentence for sexual assault and rape.
