Hollywood is reeling as Albuquerque police target a familiar face with grave accusations that demand attention.
Police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have issued an arrest warrant for Timothy Busfield, known for "The West Wing" and "Thirtysomething," on January 9, 2026, following allegations of sexual abuse of underage boys on the set of "The Cleaning Lady," with charges including child abuse and two counts of criminal sexual contact with minors under 13.
The investigation into these troubling claims began in November 2024, indicating a lengthy process before the warrant emerged.
Police are now actively searching for Busfield, hoping he will surrender to authorities, the Daily Caller reported.
The accusations paint a dark picture, one that challenges the glossy image of the entertainment industry.
Busfield’s current location remains unknown, leaving many to wonder why he hasn’t addressed the situation.
One alleged victim, just 7 years old at the time, claimed abuse occurred on set after filming.
According to TMZ, the boy stated, "Busfield touched my private parts after a scene had wrapped."
Prosecutors added that the child alleged this happened "5 or 6 times between takes," suggesting a repeated pattern.
A second young actor also reported inappropriate contact by Busfield, though further details are not available.
These claims, tied to a production like "The Cleaning Lady," highlight potential gaps in protecting child actors.
Hollywood often touts its progressive values, yet stories like this expose a failure to prioritize real safety.
Busfield, also recognized for "Field of Dreams" and "Revenge of the Nerds," now faces scrutiny that extends beyond one man.
If true, these allegations reflect a broader issue—an industry too often excusing oversight with empty promises of change.
It’s time for studios to drop the hollow rhetoric and enforce strict protections for vulnerable talent, or risk losing all credibility.
