Sexual Assault Charge Against Mike Smith Dismissed
2 Oct
Summary
- Nova Scotia judge dismissed the sexual assault case against Mike Smith.
- The Crown offered no evidence, leading to the case dismissal.
- Complainant cited mental health as reason for not testifying.
In Nova Scotia, Canada, a judge has dismissed the sexual assault case against actor Mike Smith, known for his role as Bubbles in "Trailer Park Boys." The trial, scheduled to begin recently, was halted when the Crown presented no evidence.
Prosecutor Bryson McDonald indicated the prosecution standard was no longer met, without further elaboration. The complainant reportedly stated her unwillingness to testify due to mental health concerns, leading to a publication ban protecting her identity.
Smith had previously pleaded not guilty to the charge, which stemmed from an alleged 2017 incident. Following the dismissal, Trailer Park Boys Incorporated confirmed Smith will resume his duties with the company, and his attorney stated he is pleased the matter is resolved.
