Mike Smith Case Adjourned to Jan. 23 as Defence Awaits Disclosure

A court-ordered publication ban protects the complainant during pre-trial steps.

Overview

  • A lawyer appeared on Smith’s behalf in Dartmouth provincial court and told Judge Brad Sarson that outstanding disclosure is pending, prompting a new date of Jan. 23.
  • Smith did not attend the hearing and was represented by defence counsel Allan MacDonald.
  • The actor faces one count of sexual assault linked to an alleged incident in December 2017, with the charge laid in early October 2025.
  • Court orders include a ban on publishing anything that could identify the complainant and a prohibition on contacting or visiting her home, workplace, or school.
  • The allegation remains unproven, and Smith is publicly known for portraying Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys.
