The charges involved two brothers, now 11 years old, on the set of the TV crime drama The Cleaning Lady.

Busfield starred in and directed the show in 2022.

In a criminal complaint, the boy's mother reported that Busfield asked them to call him Uncle Tim and touched them inappropriately.

The 68-year-old actor, who's married to TV star Melissa Gilbert, is also known for his roles on The West Wing, 30-Something, and Field of Dreams.

According to the complaint, Busfield told police it was a playful environment on set, but it was highly unlikely he had ever had physical contact with the boys.

A judge will determine whether Busfield will be released before a trial.
