Little House on the Prairie alum, Melissa Gilbert, sobs in court during hubby Timothy Busfield's pretrial detention hearing  in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Emmy award winner Timothy Busfield now released from the New Mexico jail pending trial for the child sex abuse charges.

Busfield is accused of inappropriately touching two 11-year-old twin boys while directing episodes of the hit tv show, "The Cleaning Lady". When Busfield joins the cast as an actor and director he tells the boys to call him "Uncle Tim". The alleged inappropriate action happens on multiple occasions and parents of the boys say Busfield masks the inappropriate touching as "play".

One of the boys says he was touched on his intimate parts over his clothing. The parents say SL wakes up scared from nightmares about Busfield touching him and is diagnosed with Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, PTSD. Allegations surface that one of the boys withdrew from the set and didn't want to go as much as before.

The child actors accusing Timothy Busfield of touching them inappropriately while working on 
the tv show, "The Cleaning Lady," told a totally different story when they first talked to 
investigators. Asked directly and specifically if they knew about private areas on their body 
that no one can touch, both boys said "yes". When asked if Timothy Busfield ever touches 
their "privates", both boys answered "no".

Lawyers for Busfield say he passed an independent polygraph and is innocent of all charges.
