An Ontario judge has dismissed billionaire businessman Frank Stronach's bid to quash his committal to stand trial on one of the dozen charges he faces in his Toronto sexual assault case.

Stronach, 93, was committed to stand trial on 12 charges following a preliminary hearing in April. The charges stem from alleged incidents dating back decades.

His lawyers challenged the decision regarding one charge, but the motion was rejected Monday after submissions by the defence and the Crown.

More pre-trial motions are scheduled to be heard this month, with the judge-alone trial expected to begin in February. WATCH | Watch the full documentary, Power and Silence, from The Fifth Estate:
