Gary Busey charged with sex crimes at fan convention

Gary Busey has been charged with sexual offences after allegations were made against him at a fan convention in New Jersey.

Busey – known for his supporting roles in Point Break and Lethal Weapon – was charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. The 78-year-old has denied the allegations, saying they are “all false” and “nothing happened” during the incidents at the 2022 Monster Mania Con.

Police said the charges stem from alleged offences at the annual film convention at the Doubletree Hotel on August 12-14 in Cherry Hill, just across the state line from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Busey, from Malibu, California, was scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event.
