A man charged with 10 counts of rape against a girl denied the allegations when he appeared at Burnley Crown Court.
Stephen Holloway, 59, of Grange Street, is alleged to have committed the offences between 2000 and 2002.
He was bailed to face trial on April 28 and a pre-trial review will be held at the beginning of that month.
He must not contact witnesses and not go within 300 metres of an address in Colne.
