Rex Orange County has been charged with six counts of sexual assault in London.

The singer, whose real name is Alexander James O'Connor, has been accused of assaulting the same woman on six different occasions over two days, as per The Sun.

According to The Guardian, the 24-year-old artist allegedly assaulted the woman twice at London’s West End back in June.

The following day, he also allegedly assaulted her once in a taxi and then three times at his Notting Hill home.
