Overview
- Bernalillo County jurors returned a four‑count indictment for criminal sexual contact of a child, third‑degree felonies that carry at least three years in prison per count if convicted.
- The charges stem from allegations that Busfield inappropriately touched two twin brothers who worked on Fox’s The Cleaning Lady between late 2022 and 2024.
- Busfield, who has denied wrongdoing, remains released on his own recognizance under orders prohibiting unsupervised contact with minors and contact with the alleged victims or their families.
- District Attorney Sam Bregman said the case will be prosecuted by his office’s Special Victims Unit and reiterated the presumption of innocence.
- Defense attorneys called the case fundamentally unsound and cited a Warner Bros. inquiry that reported no corroboration, while prosecutors have questioned that internal probe.
