A local childrens’ entertainer appeared in court today on sex charges.

Dale Rancourt, also known as Klutzy the Clown, is facing four sex-related charges and is due back in court for a bail hearing tomorrow.

The 51 year-old Gabarus resident is facing one count each of sexual assault and sexual exploitation and two counts of sexual interference.

Some details are under a publication ban because the case involves someone under the age of 16.

The charges stem from incidents that are said to have happened between July 15th and yesterday.
