The musician, whose real name is Alexander O'Connor, is accused of sexually touching a woman without her consent on six different occasions over a two-day period, reported The Sun. The woman hasn't been identified but she is said to be over the age of 16.

O'Connor appeared in court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to all charges, The Guardian reports.

The incidents allegedly took place in London on June 1 and 2 this year, according to details obtained by U.K. media outlets. O'Connor allegedly assaulted the victim twice in one day and then four times the following day, including once in a taxi.

A representative for O'Connor told Variety in a statement that "Alex is shocked by the allegations, which he denies, and looks forward to clearing his name in court."

"He is unable to make any further comment because of the ongoing proceedings."

O'Connor had been due to tour through Europe, Australia and New Zealand this fall, but he cancelled those tour dates in July, about a month after the alleged assaults took place.

He blamed the cancellations on "unforeseen circumstances."

"This is the last thing I want to do. I love touring and I am so sorry to be letting anyone down. I look forward to getting back to it as soon as I can," he said at the time.

Fans have expressed their disappointment in the musician and sent well wishes to the victim since the allegations came out.

"I feel SICK to my stomach," reads the video caption.

O'Connor was released on unconditional bail ahead of his trial, which has been scheduled for January 3, 2023.
