Sexual assault trial begins for ‘Trailer Park Boys’ actor Mike Smith

Oct 1, 2026 | 1:00 AM

DARTMOUTH — A three-day sexual assault trial is scheduled to begin today for Nova Scotia-based actor Mike Smith, best known for playing Bubbles on the TV comedy “Trailer Park Boys.”

Smith has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual assault that stems from an alleged incident in 2017.

The actor was charged on Oct. 2, 2025, but court documents do not provide details of the allegations, which have yet to be tested in court.

The documents, however, show that Smith has been ordered not to communicate with or visit the home, work or school of the female complainant, whose identity is protected from publication by a standard court-ordered ban.
