The suspect, who has been identified in court only as YLH, was allegedly involved in incidents that took place on a Lantau Island campsite and in a private car between August 23 and 28 last year during university orientation events.
The man was arrested last September after police received reports from five women who accused him of rape, indecent assault and voyeurism. He made his first court appearance on September 9.
The case will be heard in Eastern Court on February 29.
