Actor Timothy Busfield, known for his role in 'The West Wing', is facing allegations of child sexual abuse and an arrest warrant has been issued against him by the Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico. He faces two counts of sexual contact with a minor and one count of child abuse. The charges stem from allegations regarding incidents that allegedly occurred with two 11-year-old siblings while they worked as child actors on the FOX series 'The Cleaning Lady', where Busfield was a director. According to testimonies, the incidents began when one of the children was just seven years old. One of the minors has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress and anxiety disorder.
