Law enforcement officials in New Mexico announced Tuesday that Timothy Busfield, an Emmy-winning actor and founder of Sacramento's B Street Theatre, turned himself in after an arrest warrant was issued following accusations of child sex abuse.
Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman said that Busfield is currently in custody at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center after he surrendered in Albuquerque. He has been charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor under the age of 13 and one count of child abuse.
Bregman's office says it intends to file a motion seeking to keep Busfield in custody while the case moves through the judicial process. A judge will ultimately decide whether Busfield will remain detained or be released pending trial. The office also noted that filing pretrial detention motions is routine in cases involving allegations of this nature.
The arrest warrant stemmed from acts involving a child that allegedly happened on the set of the TV series "The Cleaning Lady," which Busfield had directed and acted in.
In both a statement from his lawyer and a video provided to TMZ, Busfield claims the allegations are false.
