The actor Gary Busey pleaded guilty this week to one count of criminal sexual contact, admitting that he had touched a woman inappropriately at a horror movie convention in New Jersey three years ago, his lawyer said.
Several women accused Mr. Busey, 81, of misconduct and harassment after the convention, Monster-Mania Con, which took place in August 2022 at a hotel in Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb.
A week after the convention, Mr. Busey was charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of fourth-degree attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment.
Mr. Busey, who lives in Malibu, Calif., entered his guilty plea via Zoom on Thursday.
“He personally is glad to put this behind him and move on,” Mr. Busey’s lawyer, Blair Zwillman, said on Friday. Mr. Zwillman said “the actual factual allegations more mirrored what is considered a disorderly persons offense in New Jersey.”
