Actor Timothy Busfield removed from film and TV show after January 2026 charges of sexual contact with minors.

Actor Timothy Busfield has been removed from the film "You Deserve Each Other" and an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" after being charged in January 2026 with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. The allegations involve two minors he worked with on "The Cleaning Lady," where he served as a director and executive producer. Busfield, who has denied the accusations, surrendered to authorities in New Mexico and is awaiting trial without bond. His scenes in the Amazon MGM Studios film have been digitally edited out despite filming completion. The case remains ongoing, with no conviction.
