Actor Timothy Busfield arrested

[Inthedetails]

Thank you! I was racking my brain trying to remember something that happened years ago that made me think this guy was a creep. Nothing else I saw mentioned any charges or accusations from years ago other than the 16 year old girl so I started thinking I was imagining it. But I distinctly remember his doughy pale face and associating it with being super creepy.

Same.

I haven't followed his career but have found him creepy and wondered what MG saw in him.

That's the best, most accurate description--doughy pale super creepy. YES! jmo

He always PUT ME OFF, could not abide. I didn't know about his past either, just, as you say!! Furious about the 'therapist' father of the 16 yr. old girl, letting him with 'therapy'. It does not work for sexual predators of children. IMO

A therapist should know this!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly had no idea they were married until this came to light. I was super disappointed with her when I read that. Like most women my age, we grew up watching that show and loved it.

I find Swift incredible. JMO Sounds like the therapist, who had a mandated duty to report the alleged abuse of his teen daughter, made a successful money grab instead and now, years later is piggy backing on the newer allegations.

It would appear to be the case.

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.

What doctor and with what area of practice?

There are trained forensic therapists who LE/CPS uses to question children about being groomed/SA.

Who else interviewed the boys and when?

The doctor/hospital called LE in Nov 2024 so why the delay in arresting Busfield?

The timeline, who interviewed the boys and when could cause issues for the prosecution.

The arrest warrant located here Arrest warrant accuses Timothy Busfield of child sex crimes answers all those questions, and much more.

I just read the book by Melissa Gilbert, with a foreword by Timothy Busfield, "Back to the Prairie". And I try to reconcile the story of domestic bliss, with this bombshell.

There is such a dichotomy. The book is autobiographical, about Melissa, and tangentially, her blissful happiness with Timothy.

It would be interesting to read a codicil, supplement to this book, with the craziness these accusations and subsequent arrest/trial, will add to the story, or change the story.
