Timothy Busfield turned himself into police on Tuesday after authorities in New Mexico issued an arrest warrant for the director and Emmy Award-winning actor accused of child sex abuse.

A spokesperson for the Albuquerque Police Department confirmed to CBS News that Busfield had surrendered. He was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center in Bernalillo County on a child sex abuse charge. The arrest warrant, which was signed by a judge, said the charge was for two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.

An investigator with the Albuquerque Police Department on Friday filed a criminal complaint which alleged a child reported that Busfield touched him inappropriately. The acts allegedly occurred on the set of “The Cleaning Lady,” a TV series that Busfield directed and acted in.

In a video provided to TMZ, Busfield said the allegations “are all lies.”

“I did not do anything to those little boys,” the 68-year-old actor said in the video appearing to show him in Albuquerque. He said he arrived in the city after driving 2,000 miles. Busfield’s attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday.

The criminal complaint filed by an investigator with Albuquerque police says the boy reported that he was 7 years old when Busfield touched him three or four times on private areas over his clothing. Busfield allegedly touched him five or six times on another occasion when he was 8, the complaint said.

The child was reportedly afraid to tell anyone because Busfield was the director and he feared he would get mad at him, the complaint said.

The boy’s twin brother told authorities he was touched by Busfield but did not specify where. He said he didn’t say anything because he didn’t want to get in trouble.

When interviewed by authorities, Busfield suggested that the boys’ mother was seeking revenge for her children being replaced on the series. He also said he likely would have picked up and tickled the boys, saying the set was a playful environment.

The mother of the twins — who are identified only by their initials in court records — reported to Child Protective Services that the abuse occurred between November 2022 and spring 2024, the complaint said.

“The Cleaning Lady” aired for four seasons on Fox, ending in 2025. It was produced by Warner Bros., which according to the complaint conducted its own investigation into the abuse allegations but was unable to corroborate them. 

Busfield is known for appearances in “The West Wing,” “Field of Dreams” and “Thirtysomething,” the latter of which won him an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series in 1991. He is married to actor Melissa Gilbert, who deactivated her Instagram account amid the allegations.

Gilbert indicated through a publicist that she won’t speak publicly at the request of attorneys for Busfield while the legal process unfolds.

“Her focus is on supporting and caring for their very large family,” publicist Ame Van Iden said in a statement. “Melissa stands with and supports her husband and will address the public at an appropriate time.”

The investigation began in November 2024, when the investigator responded to a call from a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque. The boys’ parents had gone there at the recommendation of a law firm, the complaint said.

According to the complaint, one of the boys has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. A social worker documented him saying he has had nightmares about Busfield touching him.

Devon Dampier will be back in red in 2026.

The Utah quarterback announced Tuesday that he has signed with the Utes for next season.

In his first season with Utah after transferring from New Mexico, Dampier threw for 2,490 yards and 24 touchdowns with five interceptions on 63.75% accuracy in 2025.

He also rushed for 835 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The junior quarterback improved both his turnover and accuracy numbers from a season ago and helped turn Utah’s offense around while fighting through injury throughout much of the season.

With a month off from games in the lead-up to the Las Vegas Bowl, Dampier had time to heal, and it showed in a 44-22 win over Nebraska.

Dampier threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 148 yards and three scores in his best performance of the season.

Dampier helped guide the Utes’ offense from the basement in 2024 to the No. 4 scoring offense in all of college football (41.2 points per game) and contributed to one of the best rushing attacks in the country, which averaged 266.3 rushing yards per game.

He was named the Big 12’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year and landed on the All-Big 12 third team after his efforts in 2025.

The New Mexico transfer already had a season starting in Jason Beck’s offense, and that expertise was evident throughout the 2025 season.

While Dampier was not able to perform to his full ability physically for most of the season, the knowledge of the offense and trust from Beck kept the Utes performing positively on that side of the ball.

“My favorite part personally is just the trust level. He gives me every play out there,” Dampier said of Beck. “There’s multiple options of what I can do with the ball and he makes the plays where I get to make that best decision every play.”

Now, Dampier will play under new offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven after Beck left to join Kyle Whittingham’s staff at Michigan.

Dampier’s signature moment as a Ute came in the 51-47 comeback win over Kansas State.

Dampier connected with receiver Larry Simmons for a 20-yard touchdown to pull the Utes within three. Then on the ensuing drive, Dampier ran for 59 yards on fourth and 1, setting himself up for a game-winning touchdown run.

Aside from his performance on the field, Dampier’s leadership ability stood out throughout the season.

Byrd Ficklin, who had an impactful season himself, credited Dampier for helping him during his freshman year.

“Dev has been the most help out of anybody that’s been here,” Ficklin said in an interview on ESPN 700. “… He’s been really pushing me on and off the field to not just be a better player, but also be a better person, and that’s what I mainly love about Dev.”

Two of the most important pieces of Utah’s offense — Dampier and Ficklin — are officially back, giving the Utes a boost heading into a pivotal 2026 season, the first under new head coach Morgan Scalley.
