WINNIPEG - A case involving new charges against convicted sex offender Graham James has been adjourned for another five weeks.

The Crown and defence are continuing discussions and the next date in Winnipeg docket court is set for Sept. 15.

James, a former junior hockey coach, was charged last year with nine charges that date as far back as 1979 and include sexual exploitation, sexual assault and gross indecency.

Former NHL star Theo Fleury is one of three complainants.

James has been out on bail since December and is living in the Montreal area.

He served almost two years in the late 1990s for sexually assaulting three young hockey players, including Sheldon Kennedy, another former NHL player.
