Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offence stemming from an appearance at a 2022 horror convention in New Jersey, according to his representatives and court records.

The 81-year-old Buddy Holly star’s manager, Ron Sampson, said in an email on Friday that the actor admitted to touching a woman’s buttocks “over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op”.
