Gary Busey, 81, pleads guilty to sex crimes charge after groping woman during horror movie convention
Daily Mail ^ | August 1, 2025 | Eve Buckland, Melissa Koenig

Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to groping a woman at a 2022 horror movie convention in New Jersey.

Busey was accused of inappropriately touching two women's buttocks during a photo shoot at Monster Mania at the Doubletree Hotel in Camden on August 13, 2022 - and trying to unhook another victim's bra, allegedly asking that woman 'where she got them.'

Despite previously denying any wrongdoing, the Lethal Weapon actor, 81, admitted one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, saying the assault was 'not an accidental touching' during a virtual court appearance on Thursday, per Court TV...

Days after he was charged in 2022, Busey accused the women of 'making up' claims he had groped them and said their encounter lasted 'less than ten seconds.'

'None of that happened,' Busey told paparazzi. 'There was my partner, a camera lady and me and two girls.

'It took less than ten seconds and then they left. Then they made up a story that I assaulted them sexually when I did not.'...

A police affidavit from 2022 says Busey asked detectives to apologize to two of his victims and talk them out of pressing charges.

It states that those two victims were taking pictures with Busey in a photoshoot area of the event when the actor 'placed his face near one of the victim's breasts and asked her where she got them, before attempting to unlatch her bra strap.'

The other woman claimed Busey grabbed her buttocks, along with a third victim who claimed the same thing, and who made her allegations later on.

Detectives said after they contacted Busey, he claimed 'that sometimes it is possible to accidentally touch someone in a specific body part.'

Dirty old man. I guess being famous does not give you a free pass after all. This kind of behavior is common in Islamic countries. So much most women there deal with it as a fact of life.

Good grief, Gary! Aren’t you a little old for that sort of thing? (Although, Hollyweird being what it is, if you had done it when you were young and popular, [though never handsome] the girls might have laughed it off, or just thought it was a necessary part of an audition.

He’s deemed competent to stand trial? Yet illegals roam free for the same or worse.

It's common in Hollywood too.

Shortly after the Clarence Thomas hearings (and Anita Hill's "pubic hair on the Coke can" claim), Hollywood was more sensitive to sexual harassment on sets. I was on some of those sets, and everyone was lectured on what sexual harassment was.

Yet Weinstein and people on his level apparently continued to harass.

Then came the 21st century's Me Too movement. And there was a fresh wave of sensitivity to sexual harassment.

But it seems Hollywood just can't reform itself.

Why did the women want to have their picture taken with Busey? They should have known that he was a character.
