A grand jury in New Mexico has returned an indictment against actor and director Timothy Busfield, according to a review of the court docket.
Busfield was charged with four counts of criminal sexual contact with a child. He’s been accused of sexually abusing two boys on the set of the former Fox/Warner Bros. Television series The Cleaning Lady.
“As with all criminal proceedings, Mr. Busfield is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law,” said Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman in a statement. “This case will proceed through the judicial process and is expected to move forward to trial.”
The case will be prosecuted by the special victim’s unit. Bregman said that “protecting children remains a top priority for his office.”
Lawyers for Busfield didn’t immediately return a request for comment. He’s denied allegations of sexual misconduct.
