Four women have now alleged they were sexually abused by Hollywood actor Timothy Busfield decades ago, after he was recently accused of sexually abusing two male children on the set of a show in New Mexico.The four women have not made criminal complaints against the “West Wing” actor, who is most known for his role on the show as journalist Danny Concannon. Busfield has denied any wrongdoing.
The women claimed in statements to the Albuquerque police that Busfield sexually abused them by groping their breasts and genitals, and forced himself on them, between the years 1993 and 2000, according to USA Today.
“I’ve been telling this story my whole life because it’s affected me and I wanted people to know about it,” one alleged victim claimed. “I just haven’t gotten to tell it to police officers because I was too old at the point where I thought that anyone would take me seriously.”
Another woman said that she decided to come forward about her experience with the actor and director after hearing about the children and realizing she was not alone.
Busfield’s attorney, Larry Stein, told the outlet that the new revelations are not relevant to the boys’ case and emphasized the age of the women.
“I will not waste my time nor the public’s commenting on 30-year-old unproven allegations with adult women,” he said. “I don’t want to focus everyone’s attention on the irrelevant facts of these women. And I don’t want to say anything negative about them. They are unproven allegations. They aren’t relevant to this case.”
Busfield turned himself in to authorities in January over allegations that he sexually abused two children on the set of the Fox series, “The Cleaning Lady,” which he directed and acted in. An arrest warrant was issued for the actor earlier that month and a trial in the child sex abuse case has been set for May 2027.
