Gary Busey Gets 2 Years’ Probation in New Jersey Groping Case

The sentence follows a July guilty plea to one count, leading prosecutors to dismiss the remaining charges.

Overview

  • Judge Gwendolyn Blue imposed the sentence during a virtual hearing on Thursday, Sept. 18, according to court records and local reports.
  • Busey was ordered to avoid contact with the victims and to submit a DNA sample as conditions of probation.
  • The defense sought only a fine, citing his age, health, and California residence, but the judge cited the incident’s seriousness and his prior contact with the justice system.
  • Under the plea deal, a single fourth-degree criminal sexual contact count was resolved after allegations from multiple women at the 2022 Monster-Mania Convention in Cherry Hill.
  • Other counts were dismissed after the plea, and Busey has a limited window to appeal and may have his probation administratively transferred to California.
