Timothy Busfield appears in court for child sex abuse case

The former West Wing star, 68, wore an orange prison jumpsuit as he stood before the judge with his hands clasped in front of him in the New Mexico courtroom.

Interesting that his wife is not "standing by her man". That seems significant to me.

Also interesting, this article implies that TB admitted guilt at the time of the Sacramento sexual abuse of a 16-year old and begged the family not to report him to LE.

While auditioning for the defendant at B Street Theatre, the 16-year-old reported that (he) kissed her and put his hands down her pants and touched her privates,' the motion states.

Busfield allegedly 'begged the family to not report to law enforcement if he received therapy,' and the alleged victim's father, being a 'therapist himself, thought at the time that was the best thing to do.'

If I was 100% sure that my husband was innocent, I would be there right next to him. But, if I didn't believe he was innocent, I wouldn't be there.

It may be more than that. After all, these people are famous, maybe they are different. But she could have flown down for the day.

They live in a completely different world from the rest of us. I know exactly what I'd do (or not do) but I don't have media hounding me, nor would I care if I did.

I do have a problem with the fact the report was made by a doctor who saw the boys only AFTER the parents saw an attorney first.

the fact that one of the employees said everyone knew to avoid Tim because he was creepy ...

I know that's not proof but it speaks to me

I agree. It was the article that the teacher was talking about the children, how the children were always supposed to be supervised by either the parents or the teacher.

And many times, on that set, it seemed that the circumstances always occurred that the children were unsupervised.

That information was in the arrest warrant. Whether or not it is enough for a conviction, I am not so sure.
