What happened to Timothy Busfield

Timothy Busfield has been charged with four counts of child sexual abuse. According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor allegedly touched two children aged 7 and 8 while on the sets of ‘The Cleaning Lady.’ It shared that the children detailed the matter to a forensic child interviewer.

Busfield’s legal representatives, however, continuously stated that the allegations are false and have even made claims that the parents are doing it on purpose. His lawyer made a statement, citing that, “This entire criminal complaint is making good on that promise. They got a civil attorney first in California, who then interacted with WB. They didn’t contact the police until WB said there’s nothing behind these allegations. Translation: We’re not giving you any money. Then, they went to the police.”
