‘Law & Order: SVU’ Pulls Timothy Busfield Episode After Child Sex Abuse Charges

“Law & Order: SVU” has pulled its upcoming episode featuring Timothy Busfield as a guest star following recent charges of child sex abuse against the “The West Wing” actor.

The installment featuring Busfield, which was slated to air this Thursday, will be replaced with the episode originally set to debut on Thursday, Jan. 22, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap. Busfield, who was first featured in “SVU” back in 2011, was set to reprise his character in the upcoming episode, which will likely not see the light of day.

The news comes just days after local news reported that Busfield was charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and an open count of child abuse, which stemmed from investigation into his relationship with child actors he directed on Fox’s “The Cleaning Lady.”
