The 33-year-old is said to have dragged the alleged victim into bushes to attack her.
He is understood to have arrived in the UK just 40 days earlier after crossing the Channel in a dinghy.
The victim says she was dragged into bushes by a stranger and attacked.
Skegness MP Matt Warman described the allegations as “hugely shocking” and said it “understandably raised a number of significant concerns”.
But he added on social media: “I would ask that people resist the understandable desire to speculate on this case.”
A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: “Officers were called to the Tower Gardens area of Skegness just after 10.40pm on Friday, June 9 to a report of a sexual assault.”
At a magistrates court hearing on Monday, the defendant was denied bail and is awaiting his first crown court appearance.
