Busfield tells New Mexico grand jury: career over amid four sex-crime charges

Newly released NM grand jury transcripts show actor Timothy Busfield testifying in his own defense against four counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor, insisting he’s innocent and saying the allegations have effectively ended his career. The prosecutor’s cross-examination was challenged by Busfield, who noted an independent Warner Bros. review found no corroboration. The grand jury issued a true bill on four counts after hearing one witness, without calling other potential witnesses, and Busfield faces a legally contested case stemming from the set of The Cleaning Lady.

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.
