James (Jim) Miller will be sentenced in November following his conviction on historical sexual-assault related charges.
On Friday, the former Sarnia basketball coach and sports reporter was found guilty in the Superior Court of Justice of four counts of sexual interference and one count of invitation to sexual touching. He was acquitted on two counts of sexual interference.
Miller will appear before Justice Russell Raikes on November 20 for sentencing submissions.
He remains on bail pending the hearing.
Meanwhile, judgement in a second trial also held this spring is expected on October 2.
The Sarnia Police Service (SPS) said the offences date back to the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In an online statement, SPS said it's never to late to report cases of sexual assault.

"We understand that many survivors need significant time before feeling ready to share their experience with police. Our specially trained investigators use a trauma-informed approach and are committed to treating every person who comes forward with dignity, respect, and compassion.
