Jamie Woods, 54, of St. Catharines was charged with two counts of sexual assault with a weapon, two counts of sexual assault, four counts of sexual interference, three counts of invitation to sexual touching and three counts of exposing his genitals to a minor.
During the investigation, the police discovered a suspect was a taxi driver and would transport children under the age of 16, to and from school. The offences are alleged to have occurred in the Niagara Region between April 2016 and May 2016.
Woods was held in custody pending a bail hearing that is expected to take place today (November 5).
