Nicole Eggert, 46, is accusing Scott Baio, 57, of sexually abusing her when she was still a minor on "Charles in Charge."
You've probably seen the back-and-forth reports from the former costars. Eggert (who played Jamie Powell) decided to take the matter a step further and file a police report against "Charles" lead Baio. According to TMZ, their costar Alexander Polinksy (Adam Powell) accompanied Eggert and told the detectives from LAPD's Sexual Assault Section that he witnessed some of Baio's alleged abuse.
The detectives reportedly met with Eggert, Polinsky, and her attorney Lisa Bloom for about two hours on Tuesday. Eggert explained her allegations -- that Baio molested her when she was 14, 15, and 16 during taping of their TV show. Baio said that's not true, that he and Eggert had sex once when she was 18.
Eggert's lawyer reportedly gave detectives a list of witnesses who claimed to have also seen inappropriate behavior from Baio to Eggert. Since the alleged abuse happened from 1986-1990, TMZ said it's possible the statue of limitations has run out.
Baio's rep responded to TMZ's request for comment on the police report:
"We've been demanding since last year that Nicole Eggert bring her story to the authorities. It's good that she finally has, even if it's part of a publicity campaign. Perhaps she can explain to them her ever-changing story."
After Eggert first went public with her molestation allegations, Baio defended himself on Twitter and posted a Facebook Live video to try and "prove" her allegations were false.
