The Cleaning Lady

Actor and director Timothy Busfield, known for his Emmy-winning work, is facing child sexual abuse charges in New Mexico. An arrest warrant was issued after a criminal complaint filed by Albuquerque police detailed allegations from a child who reported inappropriate touching by Busfield while he was directing a TV series. Initially, a judge ordered Busfield's release, but he later remained at large, prompting a search involving US Marshals. His attorneys claim an investigation undermines the state's charges. Further allegations of prior sexual misconduct have surfaced. Despite the mounting accusations, Busfield's wife, actress Melissa Gilbert, has publicly expressed her support. The case is significant due to the serious nature of the charges and the high profile of those involved.
