Jeff Paxton, 46, of Thunder Bay stands charged for numerous incidents that allegedly involve young boys between 1983 and 2004.

Justice Frank Valente reasoned that there is sufficient evidence for a the suspect to stand trial.

Additional charges against Paxton, laid last month, were also addressed and the accused waived his right to a preliminary inquiry, meaning the matters will proceed to trial at Superior Court.
