A man facing a number of charges stemming from the alleged assault of two female University of Massachusetts students last October has pleaded not guilty to all accusations lodged against him.

Twenty-four-year-old Luther Gorahkov, a UMass student from Providence, R.I., maintained his innocence at Hampshire Superior Court in Northampton last week when he answered to charges of assault with the intent to rape, kidnapping and attempting to accost someone of the opposite sex, according to the Daily Hampshire Gazette.

Gorahkov allegedly attempted to sexually assault two female students on campus on Oct. 15, 2010. The first incident reportedly took place in the Isenberg School of Management, while the second is said to have occurred shortly after in Morrill Science Building III.

A campus-wide alert was subsequently sent out after the incidents, and Gorahkov did not turn himself into police until Oct. 18.

After pleading innocent last week, Gorahkov was released on $3,000 cash bond and told by Judge Mary Lou-Rup to follow a mandated curfew, abide by treatment administered by a doctor and stay away from the UMass campus, as well as the two victims, the Gazette reported.
