Overview
- A Bernalillo County grand jury returned the indictment Friday, formally charging the 68-year-old actor after his January arrest in New Mexico.
- District Attorney Sam Bregman emphasized the presumption of innocence and said the case is expected to advance through the courts.
- The charges stem from allegations that Busfield inappropriately touched twin child actors on the Fox series The Cleaning Lady between late 2022 and spring 2024.
- A two-page indictment obtained by Rolling Stone indicates all four counts pertain to one of the twins across two separate time periods.
- Busfield denies wrongdoing; his attorney called the case fundamentally unsound and cited a Warner Bros. review that found no corroboration, while a judge previously released him on recognizance with conditions and no trial date set.
