Melissa Gilbert reacts after sex abuse case dismissed against husband Timothy Busfield
Melissa Gilbert is rejoicing after a judge threw out the child sex abuse case filed against her husband Timothy Busfield.
A New Mexico judge on Oct. 16 granted the 69-year-old actor-producer’s motion to dismiss his grand jury indictment, according to documents USA TODAY obtained.
While the “Little House on the Prairie” actor has not publicly commented on the judge’s ruling, she posted a Shakespeare quote on Instagram Oct. 16: “So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
She also posted a New York Times article about the case update on her Instagram Story.
Busfield, who has denied the allegations, was indicted in February on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a child stemming from alleged incidents with two minor twin boys when he was working as a director on Fox’s “The Cleaning Lady.”
