New Mexico Grand Jury Indicts Timothy Busfield on Four Counts of Criminal Sexual Contact

A New Mexico grand jury indicted actor Timothy Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child, related to alleged on-set abuse of two boys during the filming of The Cleaning Lady between 2022 and 2024. Busfield, who was previously arrested on related charges, is presumed innocent and the case will proceed in court, with prosecutors handled by the special victims unit. His lawyers say the indictment is unsound and part of a revenge plot by the boys’ parents; Busfield was released on his own recognizance after a prior detention hearing, and an independent Warner Bros. probe found no corroboration of the abuse allegations.
