Jan 14 (Reuters) - Actor-director Timothy Busfield made his first court appearance on Wednesday in New Mexico on child sex abuse charges.

Busfield will continue to be jailed without bond pending a hearing that will take place in the next five business days, the judge said via Zoom.

The "West Wing" actor will have a preliminary hearing on January 29.

Busfield did not comment during the brief court appearance. He was not asked to enter a plea.
