The alleged offenses stem from Davidson’s time as a sports coach in Penticton, Chase, Barriere and Clearwater.
Police received the first allegation in 2012 after a man reported being abused as a young athlete.
Seven other victims have since come forward.
Davidson returns to Kamloops court in February to fix a date for his trial.
Davidson was a Mountie for about 14 years in Alberta and Saskatchewan before changing careers.
