Actor Timothy Busfield has made his first court appearance after turning himself in on criminal charges tied to allegations of sexual abuse involving two boys on the set of a television series filming in New Mexico, according to prosecutors.
The 68-year-old Emmy winner, known for roles in Thirtysomething and The West Wing, was taken into custody in Albuquerque on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. Authorities allege the incidents occurred on the set of Fox’s crime drama The Cleaning Lady, a show Busfield directs and executive produces.
