Emmy Winning Actor Charged with Child Sex Abuse

Police have charged actor and director Timothy Busfield with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor.  Police say the abuse happened on the set of “The Cleaning Lady” when the boys were just 7 and 8 years old.  Busfield is married to actress Melissa Gilbert who has recently spoken out about child sex abuse on sets.  Busfield is known for his roles in “Thirtysomething” and “The West Wing” and has suggested the allegations are revenge for the boys being replaced on the show.
