1. Elderly plus brain injury. Pretty sure he doesn't have much reasoning/impulse control left.

Whoever is close to him should probably get him to stop making appearances at this point.

Brain injury left him different.

On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and he suffered permanent brain damage.[26]

various Twitter users going back over a decade saying that Busey had groped/felt them up at this or that event/convention/appearance.

Of course anyone can post bullshit on twitter, but I don't know what people's motive would be for making that up eight, ten, twelve years ago.

likely removed whatever impulse control he had. So reports over a decade ago are no surprise.
