新墨西哥州法官约瑟夫·蒙塔诺驳回了对演员蒂莫西·巴斯菲尔德的儿童性虐待指控，理由是控方在大陪审团诉讼中存在不当行为2。法官裁定控方"未能以公正和公平的方式行事"2。具体而言，控方在告知陪审员见证人传唤程序时提供了虚假信息，错误告知至少8名陪审员必须同意才能传唤证人2。
巴斯菲尔德曾于2月因四项罪名被大陪审团起诉2。两名孪生兄弟指控他在他们7至8岁时，在两年期间内对其进行了不当接触，据称这些事件发生在《清洁工》剧组的拍摄间隙2。巴斯菲尔德坚决否认这些指控，称其为"谎言"2。虽然目前的起诉已被驳回，但法院允许控方追求新的指控2。
A New Mexico judge has dismissed child sex abuse charges against American actor Timothy Busfield due to prosecutorial misconduct 2. Judge Joseph Montano ruled that prosecutors failed to act fairly and equitably during grand jury proceedings 2. The charges, which included four counts, had been filed against Busfield in February 2.
The dismissal stemmed from prosecutors providing false information to grand jurors regarding the witness subpoena process 2. Specifically, prosecutors incorrectly told jurors that at least eight jurors must agree to subpoena a witness, violating procedural rules 2. Two twin brothers had alleged that Busfield inappropriately touched them during a two-year period when they were between 7 and 8 years old 2. Busfield has firmly denied the allegations, characterizing them as "lies" 2.
Despite the dismissal, prosecutors have been permitted to pursue new charges against Busfield 2.
