“Trailer Park Boys” actor Mike Smith appeared in court in Halifax facing a sexual assault charge. Smith’s lawyer, Stan MacDonald, emphasized that the allegations are yet to be proven and urged respect for everyone’s privacy. The charge against Smith relates to an alleged incident in Dartmouth, N.S., in December 2017, with no further details revealed. The identity of the female complainant is protected under a publication ban.
Despite Smith’s fame, senior Crown attorney Nicole Ford assured that his public status will not influence the court proceedings. The case is scheduled to resume on December 3 in Dartmouth, where an election or plea may be entered.
