The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arraigned virtually in Tamworth District Court on Monday and denied all charges.
Police claim the alleged assault happened back in early 2009, when the accused was in his 20s.
The man replied "not guilty" after each of the allegations on his indictment were read out in court.

The accused has denied charges of aggravated sexual intercourse with a person between the ages of 14 and 16; and two counts of indecently assaulting a child between the ages of 14 and 16.
