Story out of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia:
A Cape Breton man, better known as Klutzy the Clown, is facing four sex-related charges involving a minor.
Dale Rancourt, 51, has been charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference and one count of sexual exploitation after he was arrested on Sunday. Cape Breton Regional police said the alleged offences took place between July 15 and Oct. 16.
According to court documents, the alleged female victim is 15 years old. Police have not revealed certain details related to the case and the alleged victim due to a publication ban.
Rancourt is a well-known children’s entertainer in Cape Breton who has performed as Klutzy the Clown at birthday parties, children’s events and charitable fundraisers for more than two decades. He made a number of media appearances last week, including on CTV Atlantic and CTV News Channel, defending his profession after a series of reports of “creepy clowns” terrorizing strangers in costume made headlines in North America.
