Prosecutors in New Mexico want Timothy Busfield behind bars as his child sex abuse case plays out ... painting him as a child predator who poses a danger to any kid who gets near him.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors lay out all the reasons why they want Timothy to remain locked up as the criminal case proceeds ... including the serious allegations he's facing here, plus a fresh accusation made yesterday from the father of an alleged victim.

Prosecutors say the alleged victims here were child actors on "The Cleaning Lady" while Timothy was directing the show in 2022 in New Mexico ... and they say one of the boys claims Timothy repeatedly touched his penis and buttocks over clothing when they were alone on set, often while the kid was lying on a bed.

Timothy Busfield is doubling down on his denial that he sexually abused a couple of child actors ... because his lawyer says his client took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors.

The actor/director's attorney, Larry Stein, tells TMZ ... "Tim Busfield denies the allegations in the criminal complaint and maintains they are completely false. As a voluntary step, he submitted to an independent polygraph examination regarding those allegations and passed."

As you know ... Busfield is accused of sexually abusing two boys who were child actors on "The Cleaning Lady" while he was directing the show in 2022 in New Mexico. Prosecutors say the child actors were 7 and 8 at the time of the alleged contact, and their parents reported the alleged crimes to the Albuquerque police two years later, leading to a criminal investigation.
