Prosecutors Seek Detention for Timothy Busfield, Citing Reoffense Risk in Child-Sex Case
TL;DR
Prosecutors in Albuquerque request the pretrial detention of Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield as he faces two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse, arguing he could reoffend and de-emphasizing a polygraph he passed due to lack of raw data; the defense says the evidence is weak and highlights prior uncharged allegations, with a ruling on detention expected.
