OSCAR-nominated actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sex crime after allegedly groping a woman at a horror movie convention in New Jersey.

The Lethal Weapon star, 81, admitted during a Zoom court hearing on Thursday that the incident was “not an accidental touching”.

During a photo shoot at the Monster-Mania convention held at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill on August 13, 2022, Busey faced allegations of inappropriately touching two women’s buttocks and trying to unhook another woman’s bra.

One victim claimed Busey placed his face near her chest and allegedly asked “where she got them” before reaching for her bra strap.

Busey initially denying any wrongdoing — even telling paparazzi in Malibu that “none of that happened” and the women “made up a story”.

But the actor has now pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

Under a plea deal, three other counts of criminal sexual contact and one count of attempted criminal sexual contact were dropped.

The actor now faces between one and five years of probation and fines.

He will also have a criminal record and must submit a DNA sample.

His sentencing is scheduled for September 18 via Zoom.
