Authorities in New Mexico issued an arrest warrant Friday for director and Emmy Award-winning actor Timothy Busfield to face a child sex abuse charge.

An investigator with the Albuquerque Police Department filed a criminal complaint in support of the charge, which says a child reported that Busfield touched him inappropriately. The acts allegedly occurred on the set of “The Cleaning Lady,” a TV series Busfield directed and acted in.

The child said the first incident happened when he was 7 years old and Busfield touched him three or four times. Busfield allegedly touched him five or six times on another occasion when he was 8.

The child’s mother reported to Child Protective Services that the abuse occurred between November 2022 and spring 2024,
the complaint said.
The investigation began in November 2024, when the investigator responded to a call from a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital. The child’s parents had gone there at the recommendation of a law firm, the complaint said.

Busfield’s attorney and agent did not immediately respond to email messages seeking comment late Friday.
The arrest warrant, which was signed by a judge, said the charge is for two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.

Hmmm...."the child said".....I wonder if it was "touching to adjust" an actor more than anything else.

Nothing surprises me about Hollywood

Hard to say..the child was sent to be examined years later...upon advice of an attorney.
A judge found the allegations credible enough for a warrant..so we shall see if this is real, or just a scam ginned up for some publicity and a payday~

I always thought there was something seriously wrong about that guy.

[JOSweetHeart]

I hope it isn't true whatever he is being accused of. He is in two of my most favorite childhood films: Little Big League and First Kid.

God bless you and him and his accuser(s) always!!!

P.S. First Kid turns 30 years old this year.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I won't convict him yet.
Warner Bros. conducted an internal investigation and could not corroborate the accusations.
When it is just the accusation, no witnesses, no one else saying they saw/thought something - you can't convict only on that.

Honestly never heard of the guy, but put his ass on trial and if convicted put him away.

so just not a child likely older and needs money just accuses somebody with money they "touched" him with zero proof

this is practically slander, just being accused even if not true he's not going to work that much now

 

[LibertyWeeps]

Could be a case of greedmongering parents wanting some "easy money", and using their kid to lie, lie, lie.

easy target, no proof and the actor usually settles so they go away but their reputation is already damaged

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Looks like he dropped that little girl off the bleachers in Field of Dreams when they told him it wasn’t going to be a love scene.

There is no such thing.

He was Poindexter in "Revenge of the Nerds".

 

[Dekster]

There is another allegation involving a 16 year old girls now. Have no opinion as to any of the claims other than if he is guilty, prison isn't cushy for kiddy diddlers.

She deleted her social media but otherwise haven't heard a comment from her.
