The alleged assaults included kicking and stamping on one woman, rendering her unconscious and after she vomited, rubbing her face in her own vomit, all to her injury.

He also denies repeatedly slapping, pushing and punching another woman; slapping and punching another woman and pinning a crowbar against her neck, restricting her breathing.

Trial was set for September 15 with a continued first diet on August 18.

Degernier was remanded in custody by Sheriff Way.
