New Mexico authorities have issued an arrest warrant for West Wing actor Timothy Busfield this week. Busfield is accused of alleged child sex abuse that happened on the set of a series that ended in 2025.
The investigation began in 2024, after authorities responded to a call from a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital. The Albuquerque Police Department initially did not pursue the case. It was reportedly reopened in September 2025 after a child told his counsellor that Busfield had allegedly touched his genitals and butt.
