Rex Orange County has been charged with six counts of sexual assault after a woman alleged that he assaulted her on six separate occasions in London.
The British singer, whose real name is Alexander O’Connor, denied the allegations during an appearance at Southwark Crown Court on Monday (10 October).
He was released on unconditional bail with a provisional trial date set for 3 January 2023.
“Alex is shocked by the allegations, which he denies, and looks forward to clearing his name in court,” a representative for the singer told The Independent.
“He is unable to make any further comment because of the ongoing proceedings.”
The 24-year-old “Loving Is Easy” singer gained prominence in 2017 with his hit “Best Friend”. He later went on to feature on two Tyler, the Creator songs on his 2017 album Flower Boy.
O’Connor’s latest record, Who Cares, released in March, marks his third studio album.
