A 27-year-old man who was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl after officers were called to a Kenilworth hotel has pleaded not guilty and will face trial in 2028.
Ahmad Hania, a Syrian, appeared at Warwick Crown Court on Thursday as entered not guilty pleas to six counts of sexual assault.
The charges against Hania all relate to an incident in August this year when Warwickshire Police were called to the hotel, following reports that two girls, who cannot be identified, had been sexually assaulted.

It is alleged that Hania, of King Edward Road, Nuneaton, kissed and sexually touched both alleged victims without their consent and committed an offence of rape against one of them.
Hania had his bail extended by Judge Tom Rochford and was told that his trial, which will take place across five days, will begin on 1 August, 2028.
The judge told Hania: "There are likely to be hearings before then which you must attend. You will have the right to give evidence at your trial.
"You will continue bail on the same conditions as before."
