Nicole Eggert filed a police report on Tuesday against Scott Baio, less than two weeks after her allegations that her former Charles in Charge co-star sexually abused her while they were on the show together, when she was underage.
As confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by authorities and by Eggert’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, Eggert met with detectives from the sexual assault unit at the Los Angeles police department, answering questions and telling her story. Eggert went public with accusations that Baio molested her beginning at age 14 and had sex with her before she reached the California age of consent, which is and was 18.
Bloom also related that Eggert and Baio’s Charles in Charge co-star, Alexander Polinsky, also spoke to detectives about the “inappropriate touching” he witnessed on set.
“We appreciate the Los Angeles police detectives’ interest in this case,” Bloom’s statement continued, “and we will fully cooperate with their investigation. Many have reached out to Nicole and me to say that they witnessed inappropriate behavior from Scott Baio when Nicole was underage. We provided a list of those names to the police. If anyone else has information about this matter please contact us.”
No additional information about the charges was provided by the police, including the specific allegation.
Eggert appeared on Megyn Kelly Today last week and told her story about Baio’s sexual misconduct towards her, including penetrating her when she was 14.

Actress Nicole Eggert appeared on Megyn Kelly Today Jan 30 to address the claims she’s made on social media about how Scott Baio sexually molested and abused her while they starred on Charles in Charge in the 1980s.
Eggert describes how Baio — who is eleven years older than her — zeroed in on her shortly after she joined the show in 1987, at age 14. “He immediately took to me and befriended me and earned my trust. He expressed his love for me and talked about marriage in the future. And then, before my 15th birthday, we were at his house, in his car, in his garage and he reached over and he penetrated me with his finger. And that is when the sexual touching and abuse started.”
Eggert explained to Kelly — who made sure, repeatedly, to remind the audience that the age of consent in California is and was 18 — how this treatment preyed on her age and emotions at the time, and that Baio explicitly told her not to say anything to anyone. “”The issue with him was that he was our boss. He was telling me, ‘You can’t tell anybody, this is illegal, I’ll go to jail. The show will be over. Everybody will be sued. You’ll be out of a job. You’ll ruin everybody’s life.’ And it’s scary. It’s intimidating, especially when you’re that young.”
Eggert says that Baio’s inappropriate touching continued through the age of 16, and then when she was 17, they had sexual intercourse for the first time. Kelly (gently) pressed Eggert to answer to Baio’s defenses — made via an angry, 16-minute Facebook Live video — that Eggert has, in the past, repeatedly and publicly characterized her relationship with Baio at the time as both consensual and more innocent than rumors had alluded to.
“If I could go back to a younger Nicole,” Eggert told Kelly, “I would tell her that she doesn’t have to be ashamed that she was a victim. Shame plays such a weird part and such a strong voice. You lie. I didn’t want anybody to look at me and think I was weak. I didn’t want anybody to look at me and think “Oh, victim.” And it’s not until now that I see other people coming forward, and how many women I talk to that this has happened to. It’s more common than not, unfortunately. And when I talk to other women, I don’t think ‘Oh, you’re weak. You’re a victim.’ So it’s made me realize that it’s not gross, it’s not embarrassing.”
Kelly also brought out Eggert’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, and read statements in support of Eggert’s claims from cast-mate Alexander Polinsky and others who Eggert confided in at the time, including radio host Nick Richie. Richie’s radio show was one of Baio’s pieces of refuting evidence, since Eggert appeared on his show in 2013 and characterized her relationship with Baio as above-board. Richie released a statement that Kelly read on air:
“I remember the day Nicole Eggert did the radio interview with me about Scott Baio. Nicole was distraught after the interview and off air she was an emotional wreck. She told me it was much worse than she described on air. She said, ‘He molested me as a child and I didn’t know any better.'”

What I don't get is why. He's been with Pamela Anderson, Erika Elaniak, Beverly D'angelo, Brooke Shields, Denise Richards, and basically every other hot actress in Hollywood.
What made him feel like he needed to go after an underaged girl?
