I'm all for stringing pedos up by the nearest available body part but this accusation doesn't easily pass a smell test on a number of levels, not least the behavior of the parents, both on the set and ongoing.
Also, aside from the accusation itself, this is the same Santa Fe district attorney's office that prosecuted Alec Baldwin, the one that withheld exculpatory evidence and got his case dismissed, which is the part that everyone knows about because at least the judge was honest. But even before that end there were any number of "irregularities" in the prosecution, not least the number of prosecutors who just flatly quit before they found the one who didn't, but withheld evidence in her bid to secure his conviction.
So if he's guilty, string him up. But for the sake of kids who really are being abused and also the occasional accused that really are innocent, I genuinely hope this isn't just a shakedown.
Meet the parents:
The filing states that Rodis (the father) “is a former attorney who was convicted of federal conspiracy and wire fraud and was later disbarred following that prosecution for a multi-million-dollar scheme in which he used his law license to deceive vulnerable victims for profit.”
Rodis previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after the scheme, which “defrauded more than 1,500 homeowners of approximately $6 million,” was brought to light, according to the filing.
The filing also included testimony from a director of photography on The Cleaning Lady set, who described Rodis as “pushy and manipulative” and said that he would “frequently encourage and tell the children to hug people on set, including Mr. Busfield.”
The accusers’ mother, LaSalle, has an “equally disturbing history,” the filing states, citing that she “has had multiple civil judgments entered against her for fraudulent and dishonest behavior.” She was sued for “various claims including fraud, conversion, and fraudulent transfer,” including allegedly unlawfully repossessing a Bentley car after selling it and writing bad checks to Las Vegas casinos, according to the filing.

Yikes. Republicans also have a rough time justifying that one.
No they don't.
I suggest people should just stop doing that.
Yikes.
Dude should have stuck with 30 something.
From the other comments this actually seems to be bogus
Larry Stein, an attorney for Busfield, did not comment directly on the sexual contact charge in the indictment but said the grand jury declined to endorse grooming charges sought by prosecutors. Prosecutors declined to comment on what accusations it brought before the grand jury.
Stein said in a statement that a detention hearing already “exposed fatal weaknesses in the state’s evidence — gaps that no amount of charging decisions can cure.”
The original article said the boys were about to be replaced with other actors and that the mom is - well it didn’t say this but it’s the impression I got - “a piece of work”.
