An Epsom man accused of raping, stabbing and kidnapping a teenage girl last month will face trial in November.
Costica Voedes, 32, of High Street, Epsom, has been charged with two counts of wounding with intent, two counts of rape, kidnap, false imprisonment, possession of an offensive weapon, affray and common assault.
He will be tried at Guildford Crown Court on November 21, with the trial expected to last seven days.
Surrey Police said the charges relate to an incident which took place shortly after 10.30pm on Friday, June 17 at Pizza Hut in Waterloo Road and Court Recreation Ground (pictured above) in Epsom.
Mr Voedes did not appear at a pre-trial preparation hearing (PTPH) at Guildford Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, July 21) and so did not enter a plea.
A further PTPH will take place at the same court on September 19, at which Mr Voedes will be expected to enter a plea.
