Gary Busey’s backpedaling fast -- after flat-out denying he groped a woman at a horror convention three years earlier, he’s now pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

Busey, 81, pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact after admitting to intentionally touching a woman inappropriately at the Monster-Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill on Aug. 13, 2022. “It was not an accidental touching,” Busey told the judge during a Zoom hearing published by CourtTV.
