The actor who portrays Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys has been charged with sexual assault in Nova Scotia.
The Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service told Acadia Broadcasting that Mike Smith is scheduled for arraignment Nov. 10 at 10 a.m. at Halifax provincial court.
Court documents provided to Acadia Broadcasting state the charge relates to an alleged incident on Dec. 30, 2017, at or near Dartmouth, N.S.
The documents state Smith was ordered to have no contact with the complainant nor attend her residence or any place of work or education. He signed an undertaking to that effect Oct. 2.
The prosecution service also said it will be seeking a publication ban on any information that could identify the victim. Such a ban is mandatory under the Criminal Code of Canada.
There is no indication if Smith will appear in-person or will be represented by his lawyer.
A statement from Trailer Park Boys, Inc., which produces the comedy show, was posted to Facebook. The statement said the company was aware of the allegation and that Smith had stepped away from his role as managing director of the company.
