Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Police in Albuquerque, N.M., have issued an arrest warrant for West Wing actor and director Timothy Busfield on accusations of sex crimes involving two boys.
The allegations came from the parents of twin 11-year-old boys who shared a role in The Cleaning Lady, a crime series directed by Busfield. Fox aired the drama, starring Élodie Yung and Oliver Hudson, for four seasons from 2022 through 2025.
Busfield faces two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. If convicted of the crimes, he faces up to three years in prison.
An arrest warrant obtained by Deadline said an investigation into Busfield began in 2024 after a doctor from University of New Mexico Hospital contacted the Albuquerque Police Department. The boys' father had contacted the hospital after learning of the alleged abuse beginning when the actors were 7 years old.
