Actor Gary Busey was sentenced Thursday to two years' probation after pleading guilty to inappropriately touching a woman during a horror movie convention in 2022.
Busey, 81, was accused of groping several women during a photo shoot at Monster-Mania Con, a horror-themed fan convention held at a hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, in August 2022.
Prosecutors said Busey grabbed the buttocks of two women and attempted to unhook another woman's bra, allegedly asking her, 'where she got them.'
Busey's attorney urged the court to impose fines only, pointing to the actor's advanced age, ongoing health issues, and permanent residence in California.
But, Camden County court Judge Gwendolyn Blue rejected the request, citing the gravity of the offense and Busey's prior interactions with the criminal justice system.
