"Actor and director Timothy Busfield surrendered to New Mexico authorities Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest for allegedly sexually abusing two boys on the set of a television show he directed, releasing a short video statement saying he would be exonerated and vowing to confront these lies. Busfield, 68, rose to fame with roles on beloved shows like Thirtysomething and The West Wing; his directorial credits include dozens of television programs."
"On Jan. 9, the Albuquerque Police Department issued a warrant for Busfield, listing three counts: two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor, and one count of child abuse. The charges stemmed from allegations that he had abused two twin brothers, now aged 11, on the set of the Fox television series The Cleaning Lady, which he joined as director in 2022."
