Busfield court filings reveal private life amid sex-case

Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield surrendered on charges of two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse for alleged misconduct with twin brothers on the Albuquerque set of The Cleaning Lady. In Friday court filings, he described a healthy marriage to Melissa Gilbert and disclosed intimate details of his sex life (including occasional masturbation in the shower and a dislike of pornography), as a psychosexual evaluation reportedly deemed him a 'very low' risk to offend and his defense seeks release; prosecutors argue for continued pretrial detention amid allegations of grooming and past misconduct, with letters of support from Gilbert and others submitted on his behalf.
