Feb. 6 (UPI) -- A New Mexico grand jury on Friday indicted actor Timothy Busfield on four counts that accuse him of criminal sexual contact of a child.

Each charge carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison if Busfield, 68, is found guilty, according to New Mexico law.

"As with all criminal proceedings, Mr. Busfield is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law," Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman said in a social media post.

"This case will proceed through the judicial process and is expected to move forward to trial," he said, adding that the Special Victims Unit of the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office will prosecute the case.
