Taveuni Pastor Jone Cokanauto has pleaded not guilty to one count of rape and two counts of indecent assault.
He appeared in the Suva High Court today before Chief Justice Salesi Temo.
The court was informed that the incident occurred in February 2006 in Nasinu and the victim was 21 years old at the time.
DPP lawyer Meli Vosawale says to prove their case they are relying on the direct evidence of the complainant and four witnesses.
The court also heard that the accused has not made a confession – only an admission that the victim was a member of the church he had founded.
A bail application will be heard next Wednesday.
A trial date has been set for the 20th to the 22nd of February.
