Reg Traviss, the boyfriend of late singer Amy Winehouse, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Tuesday, charged with two counts of rape.
The 35-year-old film director, who lives in Marylebone, London, dated Amy for more than a year before she died at her home in Camden in July 2011.
The court heard that he is accused of two counts of rape in the early hours of 31 December last year.
District Judge Stephanie Wickham said he would face trial at Southwark Crown Court on 12 September.
She renewed his bail, which has two conditions, that he may not contact the complainant in the case, or visit the Experimental Cocktail Club in Gerrard Street, Soho.
Couple: The late singer Amy Winehouse and Reg Traviss
Traviss, who wore a grey jacket, dark grey trousers, a white shirt and a dark tie, spoke only to give his name, address and date of birth.
It was reported last year that he and Amy were secretly engaged before her death.
