AceShowbiz - Gary Busey has finally broken his silence. The "Point Break" actor is maintaining his innocence after he was slapped with multiple sex crime charges after he allegedly touched two fans at the "Monster-Mania" convention in Cherry Hill, New Jersey inappropriately.
The 78-year-old actor has insisted that he didn't sexually assault anyone. Speaking out after being hit with the charges, he told TMZ on Monday, August 22 that "nothing happened" with the two women who accused him and further added that he didn't have "any regrets" about the way he acted at the convention.
"It was all false," Gary stressed when asked if the allegations were true. "I don't care because there are no accusations." The "Under Siege" actor then added that the interaction with the "two girls took less than 10 seconds" before "they left." He further noted, "Then they made their story," before alleging that "his partner and the camerawoman" were his witnesses, reiterating that "nothing happened."
On Friday, August 19, Gary was charged following an alleged interaction with two women at the horror film fan convention. He's now facing two counts of criminal sexual contact, one count of criminal attempt/criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment.
Despite no details of the incident being released, Cherry Hill Police Lt. Robert Scheunemann said that "it was about contact. It was about touching." It's also said that police received multiple complaints about his conduct.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, one of the women claimed Gary put his face close to her breasts and asked her where she got them. A woman claimed the actor attempted to unlatch her bra strap, while another said that he grabbed her backside.
In an odd turn of events, paparazzi caught Gary pulling down his pants at a public park in California on Sunday, August 21, one day after he was charged. In the video, he was sitting on a bench at Point Dume Park in Malibu with his sweatpants around his knees. His hands were crossed over his legs before he untied his pants to properly pull them back up.
Though it was unclear why Gary was half naked, it is not the first time he has done so in public. He reportedly did the same multiple times while participating in the U.K. version of "Celebrity Big Brother" in 2014.
