The new allegation of sexual abuse against the embattled Timothy Busfield is from an alleged incident that happened a quarter century ago … TMZ has learned.

Here’s the deal … prosecutors in New Mexico revealed Wednesday a new allegation against Timothy had come to light … a man told cops his daughter was sexually abused by Timothy when she was 16 years old and auditioning for him at B Street Theatre in Sacramento, CA.

Timothy founded the theater back in the day, but the theater is distancing themselves from Timothy now … and they tell us he hasn’t been involved in the organization since 2001, when the alleged incident occurred.

They continue … “B Street Theatre retained legal counsel at the time to conduct an internal investigation, and Mr. Busfield has not had any role in the organization since 2001. He is not involved in our current operations, staff, leadership, or programming. Although he is listed as an emeritus board member, he has not participated in theatre governance or attended a board meeting since that time.”

BST adds … “Because this matter is now part of an ongoing investigation related to a separate alleged incident in New Mexico, we are unable to provide further comment at this time.”

The statement concludes … “As an organization that has served Sacramento and the greater region for decades, our mission remains to provide a safe, creative, and inclusive environment for artists, students, families, and audiences. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by abuse or exploitation in any form.”

In legal docs, prosecutors say the alleged victim’s father, Colin Swift, came to law enforcement Tuesday and claimed Timothy sexually abused his daughter “several years ago” at B Street Theatre. Now we know it was 25 years ago in 2001.

Prosecutors say the girl reported Timothy “kissed her and put his hands down her pants and touched her privates.” They say Timothy “begged the family to not report to law enforcement if he received therapy, Colin Swift a therapist himself thought at the time that was the best thing to do.”

Timothy is in custody in New Mexico after being charged with child sex abuse over allegations he touched a child actor’s penis and buttocks on the set of the TV show “The Cleaning Lady”, which he was directing in New Mexico.

Journalist Laura Jedeed should be considered a domestic terrorist, according to the Donald Trump administration’s warped metric … but she tells “TMZ Live,” she was hired by ICE anyway!

This is a wild story … Laura was curious about how diligent the Dept. of Homeland Security is about screening ICE candidates during the agency’s current hiring surge … so she took a skills-based resume to a jobs event to find out how she’d fare.

Despite maintaining an online portfolio chock-full of Trump hate and anti-ICE sentiment, Jedeed — who says she has her own page on an Antifa watch website — passed ICE’s shoddy screening process with flying colors.

She said, “If I was applying for McDonald’s, I feel like they would look at my social media, and if all I was saying was, ‘I hate McDonald’s,’ I feel like they wouldn’t hire me.”

Jedeed told us she was also given a job despite not accepting it — she says it was listed on the agency’s jobs portal — and taking a drug test less than a week after using cannabis, but that’s not the main point.

She says her big issue is … “We’ve been hearing a lot about how anybody that resists ICE or thinks that they’re not doing a good job … They have called that domestic terrorism. So, is it domestic terrorism, or are we good recruits for ICE?”

DHS responded to Jedeed’s story, saying, “This is such a lazy lie. This individual was NEVER offered a job at ICE. Applicants may receive a Tentative Selection Letter following their initial application and interview, that is not a job offer. It just means they are invited to submit information for review, similar to any other applicant.”

But Jedeed clapped back with a video of herself logging into ICE’s portal, where she was greeted with a graphic welcoming her to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with an onboarding date and everything.

Hailey and Justin Bieber are continuing to beef with TikToker Julie Theis … slapping her with a cease-and-desist letter that claims she fabricated her story about their celebrity marriage.

TMZ obtained a copy of the letter written by the Biebers’ attorney Evan Spiegel … who writes that Theis posted “outrageous false, fabricated, and defamatory” statements online about the couple’s marriage.

Spiegel also writes Theis uploaded TikTok and Instagram videos of herself claiming that Justin and Hailey’s marriage was a great example of an abusive relationship stemming from drug addiction, and calls the allegations “highly damaging.”

Theis added … “It’s extremely elitist to try to silence opinions just because you disagree. Disagreement is not defamation.” She also claims she’s been receiving death threats since the start of this drama.
