The lawyer is right, innocent until proven guilty. That being said, these kind of charges don't tend to come without a strong foundation of evidence.

But what's the charge about? Touching someone's ass without permission is a long way away from forcible rape.

Took some clicking, but this is the best we got so far:

Details of the alleged assault weren’t included in court documents.

It's still sexual assault and if he did it he deserves to see consequences.

What part of "won't be tried in the media" don't you understand.

They are trying to avoid the Jian Ghomeshi shit show of years back.

It's always the ones you expect.

I don’t really know enough about Mike Smith to have expected it, I guess. Surprising and sad from my perspective.

Damn, loved that show.

So, in your mind he's guilty of what exactly? Because I couldn't find an article outlining the details or circumstances. Nothing but the fact that he's been charged.

You think police just walk around randomly charging people with sex crimes? Find the article where he choked a woman in a hotel in LA around the same time.
