At least 10 women reported being assaulted in Sydney's Moore Park and inner-west areas between 1991 and 1993 by the person dubbed the "Night Stalker" or the "Moore Park Rapist".
Breakthroughs in forensic technology led to the arrest of a 60-year-old at Sydney International Airport in February 2024.
But Glenn Gary Cameron's identity remained secret until Tuesday, thanks to sweeping suppression orders barring reporting for more than a year.
Cameron, now 61, has been in lengthy negotiations with prosecutors over sexual offence charges related to eight of the women who were allegedly targeted after dark.
The former Alice Springs resident has been expected to enter pleas on at least seven occasions, according to notations on the court file.
But the parties are still trying to agree on the facts, Downing Centre Local Court was told on Tuesday.
"There have been very lengthy negotiations. We are almost there," crown prosecutor Kay Marinos said.
"We have reached agreement on the charges that will proceed".
The prosecutor said Cameron would be committed for sentence after entering pleas to some of the charges.
Cameron is expected to enter guilty pleas to at least some of the 34 charges against him when he returns to court on September 23, more than a year and a half after he was arrested.
Over two years, Cameron allegedly raped eight women while wielding a variety of knives, which he threatened to use on them.
One of the complainants was allegedly raped five times, groped and assaulted in the span of half an hour at Moore Park.
Then aged in his late 20s, Cameron is accused of indecently assaulting each of the eight women and detaining two of them at knifepoint for his sexual gratification.
He allegedly punched two women in the head, hit another in the face multiple times and robbed two of the complainants while armed with a knife.
Cameron's arrest was made possible by a forensic review of the historical sexual assaults, which used modern DNA and fingerprint technologies.
He has remained behind bars on remand since his arrest in 2024.
At the time, a magistrate made suppression orders that prevented the media from identifying Cameron or publishing the charges against him.
The last court order was quietly revoked in May.
The raft of charges against Cameron includes 19 counts of aggravated sexual assault involving a threat to inflict actual bodily harm on a victim with a weapon and eight counts of indecent assault.
