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.

He appeared in Southwark Crown Court today (October 10), where he pleaded not guilty to the six counts.
A representative has released a statement on Rex Orange County's behalf staunchly denying the allegations against him.
“Alex is shocked by the allegations, which he denies, and looks forward to clearing his name in court,” the statement said.
