Timothy Busfield Faces Child Abuse Charges | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Actor Timothy Busfield, famed for “Field of Dreams” and “The West Wing,” faces four felony charges of criminal sexual contact with a child under 13, stemming from alleged incidents during filming of “The Cleaning Lady.” Testifying before a grand jury, Busfield declared his career is over, calling himself “canceled” and fearing public scorn—even if innocent. He also warned that his wife, Melissa Gilbert, and their family are being devastated by what he claims are false accusations driven by parental revenge after he passed on casting their kids. His attorney insists he’s innocent and says the case lacks evidence. Busfield surrendered to authorities, was released without prior criminal history, and trial is set for May 2027.
