Actor and director Timothy Busfield will be released from a New Mexico jail while awaiting trial in a sex abuse case, after a judge ruled that he did not need to remain in custody.
The Emmy-winning actor surrendered to authorities last week and faces allegations that he sexually abused two boys while working on the set of a television series he directed and produced. Busfield, 68, has denied all claims.
Prosecutors sought his continued detention, arguing there was a pattern of inappropriate behaviour that escalated during production of The Cleaning Lady, filmed in New Mexico. They said the seriousness of the accusations required strict pretrial controls.
