Overview
- A judge signed the warrant on Jan. 9 charging two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse, and records showed he had not been taken into custody as of the weekend.
- Investigators say the case involves twin brothers who acted on the Fox series, with one boy alleging multiple touches to his “private areas” when he was 7 and again at 8.
- The inquiry began with a University of New Mexico Hospital alert in November 2024 about possible grooming, with detailed disclosures emerging in September and October 2025 to a counselor and a pediatrician before reports to CPS and police.
- The affidavit references therapist and medical records, including a PTSD and anxiety diagnosis for one child and reports of nightmares about the incidents.
- In a recorded interview, Busfield said it was “highly likely” he picked up or tickled the boys but said he did not remember them; Warner Bros. says it is cooperating after an earlier outside review did not substantiate some claims.
