Listed charges against Gary Busey
Gary Busey has been charged with three counts of sexual assault, according to a statement released by the Cherry Hill Police Department on Twitter. The actor was charged with two counts of fourth-degree felony sexual contact, one count of fourth-degree attempted sexual intercourse and one count of harassment – a disorderly conduct offense.
According to the official statement:
“Cherry Hill Police responded to the Doubletree Hotel, 2349 West Route 70, during the weekend of the event, August 12-14, 2022, for an alleged sex crime. As a result of the investigation, Cherry Hill Police Detectives charged Gary Busey, 78, of Malibu, California on August 19, 2022.
Gary Busey could face up to thirty days in county jail and fines if charged with one count of harassment. He could face a restraining order as well as additional sanctions. There is also a risk that this charge could be upgraded to “simple assault” status after further investigation, which could result in higher jail terms and fines.
Busey, meanwhile, faces up to 18 months in prison on two counts of fourth-degree felony sexual contact, a felony. Since the offense is of a sexual nature, the performer may face further sanctions. If convicted, the actor will be listed as a sex offender under Megan’s Law. Gary Busey could face up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine for unlawfully attempting to have sex, according to a case description from the attorney’s office of Jonathan F. Marshall. Because the illegal attempt involved sexual contact, fines or other penalties may be increased.
Gary Busey’s History of Threatening Behavior
Although there was no record of Busey committing any criminal acts, he caused some controversy in 2008. The actor then allegedly got into a fight with other celebrities during a group treatment session on VH1’s Celebrity Rehab 2. According to the New York Post, Busey had many fights on the show and they had to be “physically removed” after one of them. According to the series description, Busey was involved in the production as a former drug addict who was sober after treatment.
The episode also revealed that Busey was diagnosed at the time by psychiatrist Charles Sophy, who claimed the actor’s brain damage was the source of his impulsive behavior. Busey agreed to take the drug when advised by a psychiatrist. Busey is known for his work in films such as Predator 2, Lethal Weapon and others. Reggie: A Millenial Depression Comedy, a 2021 feature film, was the actor’s latest project.
