Chaudrhy, of Eton Avenue, Hounslow, in London, will also be tried at the same time for five similar counts, against another alleged victim.

He denied another five sexual assaults alleged to have happened in 2017 at an earlier hearing.

Some of the evidence will be heard at a hearing in April which Chaudrhy was told he must attend.

Judge Tim Stead granted him unconditional bail.
