Overview
- NBC had removed the January 15 SVU episode, titled Corrosive, after an arrest warrant for Timothy Busfield became public.
- Busfield faces two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse tied to alleged incidents in Albuquerque.
- David Zayas stepped into the guest role and completed reshoots, with the episode slated as the series’ return after NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage on February 26.
- Authorities were alerted in late 2024 when a University of New Mexico Hospital doctor contacted Albuquerque police about concerns involving two brothers born in 2014.
- Warner Bros. Television previously ran an internal probe after a SAG-AFTRA complaint that Deadline reported as clearing Busfield, as other partners moved to distance themselves, including Amazon MGM editing him out of a film and Innovative Artists dropping him.
