PR consultant Max Clifford has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges of indecent assault at Southwark Crown Court.
Mr Clifford, 70, from Hersham, Surrey, faces charges relating to seven alleged victims, ranging in age from 14 to 19, between 1966 and 1985.
Speaking outside court, he said he was "totally innocent" of the allegations.
The trial date has been set for 4 March next year and is expected to last up to four weeks.
As he arrived at court in London, Mr Clifford said: "Obviously I am totally innocent of these charges.
"It's been a very hard time for myself, my wife, my family, loved ones.
"I have been helped tremendously by the public support, everywhere I go. That, obviously, has made a huge difference."
The full list of offences relating to seven complainants are:
- One offence of indecent assault relating to a girl, aged 14, in 1966
- One offence of indecent assault relating to a woman, aged 18, in 1974/75
- Three offences of indecent assault relating to a girl, aged 15, in 1977/78
- One offence of indecent assault relating to a woman, aged 19, in 1978
- Two offences of indecent assault relating to a girl, aged 16 or 17, in 1981/82
- One offence of indecent assault relating to a woman, aged 19, in 1980/81
- Two offences of indecent assault relating to a woman, aged 18, in 1984/85
Mr Clifford was arrested in December as part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree.
The inquiry was set up following historical allegations of sex abuse against the late DJ and TV presenter Jimmy Savile - however Mr Clifford's arrest was unrelated to any allegations against Savile.
Under his bail conditions, Mr Clifford must live at his Surrey home and is not allowed to contact prosecution witnesses.
