In November 2015, police performed a compliance check and found evidence that he was not abiding by his conditions. Wolfe was arrested and evidence was found in his home revealing another victim.
RCMP say the unidentified boy was approximately eight to 10 years old and was victimized between 2005 and 2008.
The new evidence has led to additional charges being laid including possession of child pornography, sexual assault, sexual interference and two counts of making child pornography.
In total, Wolfe now faces 50 charges involving 14 child victims.
The accused will remain in custody until his preliminary inquiry which is scheduled to start Jan. 25.
