Timothy Busfield, an actor and director, is under scrutiny after being accused of inappropriate behavior involving children. He has proclaimed his innocence as new allegations emerge, some of which date back several years.

According to CrimeOnline, Busfield is currently facing charges of child abuse and criminal sexual contact with a minor. He remains incarcerated at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque.

On Friday, his legal team submitted a motion seeking his release from jail. During an initial court appearance on Wednesday, a judge decided that Busfield should stay in custody without the possibility of bail.

A detention hearing is set for Tuesday, as reported by the Tri-City Record, where the judge will assess whether to grant his release.

The accusations involve alleged misconduct towards twin brothers during the production of “The Cleaning Lady” between 2022 and 2024, according to a criminal complaint.

“I did not do anything to those little boys,” Busfield told his defense attorneys in their Albuquerque office, according to TMZ.

“I’m going to fight it. I’m going to fight it with a great team, and I’m going to be exonerated. I know I am because this is all so wrong and all lies.”

The video happened shortly before Busfield turned himself in to Albuquerque police on January 13.

Meanwhile, Busfield’s civil lawyer, Larry Stein, told TMZ that a “revenge factor” is possible, after the children’s mother allegedly became upset upon learning they wouldn’t return to the show’s final season.

Following the accusations, an allegation involving a 16-year-old girl surfaced, who auditioned for Busfield’s B Street Theatre in Sacramento, “several years ago.”

The filing claimed that Busfield “kissed her, put his hands down her pants and touched her privates,” the documents stated.

“The defendant begged the family to not report to law enforcement if he received therapy” the filing read.

Years before the B Street Theater allegation, U.S. District Judge James Ideman in 1996 ordered Busfield to pay $150,000 to a Minneapolis law firm after determining Busfield claimed the firm lied about a sexual assault.

According to Deseret News, Busfield filed a defamation suit against Messerli & Kramer, alleging that the law firm made up claims that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl.

The amount owed is what the firm reportedly had to pay in defense against Busfield’s claims.

Busfield settled a lawsuit with the victim for an undisclosed amount.
