Robson entered not guilty pleas to all the charges, which were alleged to have happened between August 17 and 18.
The court was told that all of Robson’s suspected victims were strangers.
Prosecutor Laura Croft said that, taken together, the offences were so serious that the case should be sent to the crown court.
She added: “I would invite you to allocate this to the crown court for trial.
“There’s five separate incidents where the defendant has allegedly approached females and assaulted them or exposed himself.
“Individually, the charges might have been suitable for this court but, because of totality, I would say it’s suitable for the crown court.” Aside from entering his pleas, Robson spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, address and nationality.
