Julia Roberts' sister-in-law Eliza Roberts accused Timothy Busfield of sexually harassing her over 30 years ago ... and now she says the alleged victims in the actor/director's recent child sex abuse charges should not be "vilified."

Prosecutors say the 7-year-old twins were actors and Busfield was the director.

Despite their accusations against the director, the boys originally told investigators Busfield never acted inappropriately toward them.

Melinda French Gates says reading about her ex-husband Bill Gates' numerous mentions in the Epstein Files makes her unbelievably sad for the alleged victims and brings to mind some terrible personal moments ... and some uncomfortable questions.

The philanthropist spoke about the recent release of documents by the Department of Justice in a promo for the new episode of NPR's "Wild Card" podcast ... in which she says no girl should ever be put in this torturous position by a powerful person like Jeffrey Epstein -- and people, including her ex-husband, need to answer questions about their interactions with the convicted sex offender and pedophile.

MG elaborates … "Whatever questions remain there -- I can't even begin to know all of it -- those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband, they need to answer to those things. Not me."

The ruling was announced on Monday ... months after Rozier was arrested as part of a federal investigation.

Despite the ongoing case, Rozier is set to make $26.6 million this season -- $25M of that guaranteed ... and his lawyer, Jim Trusty, told Front Office Sports that his client won based on contract law and the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NBA and players, adding that "the bigger principle at issue is the presumption of innocence."

There's another reason for concern when it comes to 'TODAY' anchor Savannah Guthrie's missing mother ... 'cause it sounds like she doesn't have access to the daily medication she needs to survive.

A Louisiana school counselor’s death by suicide this week after a warrant for his arrest for inappropriately messaging a minor was issued isn't justice ... so says the victim's brother who wants more accountability.

Tyler Washington spoke to TMZ about the situation ... telling us the death of Quinton Dixon from Baton Rouge doesn't substitute for justice because his 14-year-old sister still has to carry the weight of the situation on her shoulders forever.

Ghislaine Maxwell ripped a page out of Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile playbook during a 2015 video-recorded deposition, claiming everything was done by the book while Epstein was enjoying his creepy massages.

Maxwell was as defiant as her late financier ex-boyfriend during the April 2015 deposition, which was part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against her. Giuffre -- one of Epstein's most prominent victims -- said Maxwell defamed her by calling her accusations that Epstein was a sex trafficker “obvious lies.”

Check out the deposition ... which was released by the Department of Justice Friday in the latest dump of Epstein files.

As you can see ... Maxwell is fielding questions from a lawyer while under oath, shooting down the notion there was anything inappropriate going on between Epstein and teenage masseuses. In fact, Maxwell describes them as "professional" masseuses and even chastises the attorney for her "unfortunate mischaracterization" of the situation.

Jane Fonda says the federal government took down the wrong Don ... calling out Trump's admin for arresting Don Lemon instead of the commander-in-chief.

The legendary actress passionately defended the former CNN anchor outside the federal courthouse where Lemon had a court hearing after his arrest for allegedly breaking up a church service ... and she told assembled protesters not to fall for the government's tricks.

Fonda says Don was just a journalist doing his job ... no more, no less -- and certainly no reason for the feds to lock him up.

Federal prosecutors are explaining why they have the gall to arrest and charge Don Lemon in connection with his coverage of an ICE protest that disrupted a Minnesota church service ... they claim he wasn't reporting from the sidelines, and was part of the plot to raid the church.

According to the federal indictment, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors allege Don conspired with protestors to "injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate" clergy, staff, and congregants at Cities Church in Minneapolis.

The feds say Don met up with the protestors before the demonstration and got instructions on where they would be protesting and how the "operation" would go down once at the church.

Prosecutors say Don started livestreaming the morning of the Jan. 18 protest, telling his audience he was in Minnesota with an organization that was gearing up for a "resistance" operation against the federal government's immigration policies.

The feds say Don took steps to "maintain operational secrecy" by not revealing the location of the planned protest to his audience ... and prosecutors say he stepped away from a live mic so he "would not accidentally divulge certain portions of the planning session."
