NBC has pulled an upcoming episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit featuring actor Timothy Busfield in a guest role. The move comes following news that an arrest warrant was issued on Friday, January 9, for the Emmy Award-winning actor and director on child sex abuse charges involving a young actor.

Busfield was slated to guest star in the Season 27 episode titled “Corrosive,” which had been scheduled to air on Thursday, January 15. He was set to play Judge Warren Fels in a story described by the official logline: “An attempt on a respected judge’s life is connected to an anonymous video posted to the SVU tip line. Rollins tries to help a victim come to terms with their abuse.”
