Timothy Busfield Faces Child Sexual Contact Charges

0:00It's April 6th, from red carpets to breaking stories. This is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. Actor Timothy Bussfield faces four counts of criminal sexual contact with minors after two child actors from the set of The Cleaning Lady accused him. Of inappropriate touching, he's indicted by an albacurkey grand jury on February 6th, with trials set for 2027. This comes alongside older sexual assault claims against him from 1994 and 2012. His wife, Melissa Gilbert, revealed she dug into those past allegations before they married in 2013. She says the internet was around, so she wasn't blind to any rumors and isn't naive or involved. And a good morning America interview, Gilbert stood by Bussfield, insisting she heard his full story, which she calls the truth. She described the car and mess as pure hell for them both, and said now's the time to set the record straight after too many lies. Bussfield's lawyer points out the judge at his detention hearing saw no link between the

1:00decades old adult claims and these new ones with pre-pubescent boys. He passed a lie detector test, which could go to the jury and a psychologist confirmed he has no interest in young children. As Bussfield awaits trial years down the line, Gilbert vows he'll share his side when ready, keeping the focus on facts amid the noise.
