Sean Timothy McKenna, 48, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday for his matter to be committed to the ACT Supreme Court.
He pleaded not guilty, through his lawyer, to a charge that he committed an act of indecency on a woman on April 22.
McKenna had already denied two counts each of the same charge and sexual intercourse without consent.
MORE COURT AND CRIME NEWS:
Police allege he committed all the offences on April 22 or 23.
McKenna has been on bail since being first charged two days after his alleged crimes.
The conditions of his release include that he must not contact the alleged victim or be within 100 metres of her.
McKenna's case is now set to go before the Supreme Court registrar in early December, when the process of setting trial dates is likely to begin.
