"Audiotape shared with a New Mexico court by Timothy Busfield's attorneys reveals that the two child actors at the center of sex abuse allegations against the 68-year-old Hollywood veteran initially told police in 2024 that he never touched them inappropriately. In the audio, first published by TMZ on Monday, the boys, who are twin brothers, denied that the West Wing and Thirtysomething star ever touched their genitals while he directed them in the Fox TV drama, The Cleaning Lady."
"Referred to only as VL and SL in court documents, they were asked by an Albuquerque police officer in November 2024: So, you know what is right and wrong, right? You know no one can touch your private areas? In response, both boys said, yes to knowing that such touching is wrong. When the officer followed up by asking if Busfield ever touched their private parts, one boy responded: Yeah, but he doesn't touch those parts. The second boy said: No, he's never touched me never."
An audiotape released in court captures twin boys initially telling Albuquerque police in November 2024 that Timothy Busfield never touched them inappropriately while directing them on The Cleaning Lady. The boys, referred to as VL and SL, affirmed they knew private areas should not be touched; one said Busfield "doesn't touch those parts" and the other said "he's never touched me." Busfield surrendered to New Mexico authorities and is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Bernalillo County. A detention hearing is scheduled. The case follows allegations reported to Child Protective Services in October 2025.
