CHERRY HILL, NJ — Actor Gary Busey pleaded guilty Thursday to sexual misconduct, admitting to inappropriately touching a woman several years ago at a horror-film convention in Cherry Hill.

On Thursday, he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct during a virtual hearing.

As part of a plea agreement, a Camden County judge dismissed his other charges: three other counts of criminal sexual contact and one count of attempted criminal sexual contact.

"It was a minor incident, and four of the charges have been dismissed," Busey's attorney, Blair R. Zwillman, told Patch. "He's planning to put it behind him."

Busey faces one to five years of probations and fines, according to The Guardian. He also must submit a DNA sample.

Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 18.
