Owasso timeline ties June child-sex probe to July murder-suicide

Owasso police released a timeline linking a June investigation into alleged inappropriate sexual contact by a traveling basketball coach to a July 23 murder-suicide involving the same suspect, Jeremiah Duffey. The June case, involving a juvenile and a parent and conducted in Indian Country, was referred to federal authorities under the Federal Major Crimes Act, ending Owasso’s jurisdiction. Duffey’s estranged wife, Sara Duffey, had a protective order against him; she and Jeremiah Duffey were found dead in what police believe was a murder-suicide. No violations of the protective order were reported before the July 23 incident, and the team involved was not affiliated with Owasso Public Schools.

Busfield Faces New Charges as Troubling Past Surfaces

Timothy Busfield surrendered in Albuquerque to face child-sex-abuse charges — two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse — tied to alleged incidents with twin boys in 2022 on his TV project The Cleaning Lady. The case comes amid decades-old allegations (1994 sexual misconduct claim; 2012 incident) and a separate California claim about a kiss with a 16-year-old, though no charges have been filed in those cases. Busfield denies the wrongdoing, his attorney arguing there’s no evidence and suggesting revenge by the boys’ mother; multiple outlets (Globe/People/NBC News) are reporting the developments.

Prosecutors Seek Detention for Timothy Busfield, Citing Reoffense Risk in Child-Sex Case

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.

Busfield defense: independent probe undermines NM child-sex charges

Busfield’s lawyers say an independent investigation and a polygraph undermine two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and a child-abuse charge tied to an incident on the set of The Cleaning Lady in New Mexico; they allege the accusers’ parents have a fraud history and seek his release, as a detention hearing determines whether he stays jailed while prosecutors pursue the case.
