An arrest warrant has been issued for Emmy-winning actor and director Timothy Busfield, who is accused of inappropriately touching twin boys who were actors on a TV series he directed, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Busfield, known for his roles on “The West Wing” and “Field of Dreams,” is facing two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and an open count of child abuse, according to Albuquerque court documents obtained by KOAT.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a police affidavit posted by Variety, the boys’ mother told police that her children disclosed to her that they were “groomed and sexually abused” by Busfield while filming the Fox series “The Cleaning Lady” from November 2022 to spring 2024 in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

One of the boys told an investigator that Busfield touched his “private areas” on set when he was 7 years old and again when he was 8, according to Variety.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the affidavit describes an investigation conducted by Warner Bros. Following an anonymous complaint made through SAG-AFTRA, the actors’ union, about Busfield’s conduct on “The Cleaning Lady.”<\/p>\n

Busfield was accused of kissing a “minor male” who was getting a haircut on set. The complaint also claimed there are pictures of Busfield “tickling and caressing the head and body of minor boys,” according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
