Gary Busey has been sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to inappropriately touching a woman in 2022.
The “Buddy Holly Story” actor, 81, received the sentence on Thursday, according to court documents obtained by Page Six. In addition to probation, Busey must submit a DNA sample and is barred from contacting two of the victims.
“He is happy to move on from this circumstance in New Jersey, which has led to extremely negative press for over three years, to no fault of his own,” Busey’s attorney, Blair Zwillman, told Page Six Sunday. “He’s retired, he treasures his life as an actor and wants to move forward.”
In July, Busey pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree criminal s3xual contact for inappropriately touching a woman at a New Jersey horror film convention in August 2022. During a virtual court appearance, he admitted, “It was not an accidental touching.”
