The suspected serial rapist was in court Monday to be formally charged with three separate cases of sexual assault. 

He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

According to Bakersfield Police, Brandon Robinson, 19, sexually assaulted two women and a 15-year-old girl over the last two months. 

In March police said he sexually assaulted a woman near Wenatchee and Columbus Street. 

Then in April Police said he sexually attacked and kidnapped a 15-year-old girl on Haley Street near Columbus Street. 

Just last week police said he was caught in a women's restroom on the Bakersfield College campus sexually assaulting a woman. 

"I'm not what they're saying. I'm not," said Robinson. 

In a jailhouse interview with 23ABC Sunday, Robinson said several times that he's innocent. 

"I feel like I'm being accused of something I didn't do," said Robinson. "I'm innocent and I shouldn't be here. I'm not a bad kid."

However, when 23ABC asked how he could prove his innocence when police said all the evidence points to him, he wouldn't give a direct answer. 

"When we go to court I will handle that, but as of right now I don't want to speak about it because you know I would rather have my lawyer, but honestly I have all the evidence and everything will just come out," Robinson said.

The entire interview lasted just under seven minutes before Robinson asked to leave. 

On Monday the judge also put a protection order in place, meaning Robinson can't have any contact with any of the alleged victims. 

Robinson is currently being held on $1,675,000 bail. 

He is expected to be back in court on May 26th.
