Timothy Busfield Indictment on Child Sex Abuse Charges Thrown Out by Judge - Variety

A judge in the US state of New Mexico has thrown out charges against Emmy-winning actor Timothy Busfield on Friday, saying there were issues with how prosecutors presented the case. The West Wing and Field of Dreams actor was indicted in February on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child. Busfield has denied all allegations. The charges stemmed from accusations brought by child actors he worked with on the Fox series The Cleaning Lady, which he directed and produced. The judge said on Friday that the prosecutor "failed to act in a fair and impartial manner". The district attorney's office said it is evaluating options on how to move forward. State District Judge Joseph Montano granted the defence's motion to dismiss the indictment on Friday, citing mistakes that undermined the grand jury process. "Our office has received the order and is evaluating our options to determine how we will proceed," a spokesperson for the Office of the Second Judicial District Attorney in Bernalillo County told the BBC on Friday. The BBC has contacted a legal representative for Busfield.
