November 7, 2025
Actor Mike Smith, best known as the character Bubbles on the television show Trailer Park Boys, has been charged with sexual assault.
Mr. Smith, 53, was charged by Halifax Regional Police on Oct. 2, according to court documents filed in Nova Scotia’s provincial court. The assault is alleged to have occurred in December, 2017, but the charging documents do not include additional details of the allegations.
The allegations have not been proven in court. Mr. Smith and his lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday, nor did the show’s agent and manager.
Strict criminal trial deadlines imposed by the Supreme Court of Canada are derailing about 10,000 cases a year, a list that includes several alleged murders and hundreds of alleged sexual assaults, according to the latest Statistics Canada data.The dire situation has led the federal government and the three biggest provinces to call on the Supreme Court to provide some leeway on the time limits, called Jordan deadlines, in a drug-trafficking case to be heard at the top court in Ottawa on Thursday.
