Public attention has turned to actress Melissa Gilbert following the arrest of her husband, actor and director Timothy Busfield, who is facing child sex abuse allegations in New Mexico. Busfield surrendered to police earlier this month after an arrest warrant was issued in connection with alleged criminal sexual contact involving minors.
The case has drawn scrutiny not only because of Busfield's profile as a television actor and director, but also because Gilbert has chosen not to address the allegations publicly. Her silence has prompted questions about her position as the legal process unfolds.
