West Wing actor Timothy Busfield’s mugshot released as star accused of child sex abuse

Date:

Police have released a mugshot of West Wing actor Timothy Busfield, 68, after he turned himself in to face child sex abuse charges in New Mexico. The Emmy-winning star denies all allegations.

The mugshot of Emmy award-winning actor Timothy Busfield, who is facing child sex abuse allegations, has been made public. The star of The West Wing turned himself in to the authorities on Tuesday, January 13.

Busfield, aged 68, is accused of inappropriate conduct with a minor on the set of a TV series he was directing. A warrant for his arrest was issued by Albuquerque, New Mexico authorities on Friday, 9 January, on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse, reports the Express..

It’s alleged that the incidents took place on the set of the series The Cleaning Lady, filmed in Albuquerque.

Police have now released a mugshot of Busfield as their investigation into the claims continues. A video obtained by US media alleges that while at the police station, the father of three insisted: “”I did not do anything to those little boys”.

Best known for his role as senior White House Correspondent Danny Concannon in The West Wing from 1999 to 2006, Busfield is accused of grooming boys on the set of The Cleaning Lady, a show in which he starred and directed.

He denies these allegations.A copy of the warrant obtained by US news alleges that Busfield touched a seven year old boy three times over his clothes in private areas.

According to the warrant, the Field of Dreams and Thirtysomething star then touched the boy five or six times when he was eight years old.

The young boy reportedly didn’t report the alleged abuse as he was scared that Busfield – who he supposedly referred to as “Uncle Tim” – would become angry.

The Sun US reported that a second boy also claimed that the actor had touched him over a two-year period while working on the show, which ran until 2025.

These allegations suggest that the abuse took place between November 2022 and spring 2024. The complaint further alleges that Busfield also kissed the child on the face whilst he was getting a haircut in the hair and makeup trailer.

The boys’ mum filed a report with social services in October 2025.

A social worker is said to have documented the boy saying he has nightmares about Busfield touching him.
