Grand Jury Indicts Timothy Busfield on Four Child Sexual Abuse Counts in New Mexico

Prosecutors say the Special Victims Unit will lead the case with a trial expected under normal court procedures.

Overview

  • Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman announced the indictment alleging abuse of two 11-year-old twin boys connected to Busfield’s work on The Cleaning Lady between 2022 and 2024.
  • Busfield turned himself in to Albuquerque authorities in mid-January after a warrant was issued and was later released under conditions.
  • The DA’s office emphasizes the presumption of innocence and has limited public disclosure of investigative details.
  • People reports the four charges are classified as third-degree felonies.
  • Busfield denies the allegations in a video statement, and his attorney Larry Stein called the indictment unsurprising while pledging a vigorous defense.
