According to authorities, Sniff is believed to have met some of the alleged victims through the Model Mayhem website, which pairs photographers and models.
During testimony on Tuesday, one alleged victim said Sniff told her he was a modeling scout. She also testified that Sniff bought her things like a cell phone to convince her to spend time with him.
The preliminary hearing is expected to last two days with additional witness testimony.
Following the hearing, the judge will decide if there is enough evidence for Sniff to stand trial.
