Nicole Eggert accuses Charles in Charge co-star Scott Baio of molesting her when she was a minor

The Hollywood Reporter

Eggert had previously said she dated and lost her virginity to Baio, her co-star on the family sitcom from 1987 to 1990. But on Twitter Saturday, Eggert alleged that Baio molested her. “Ask @scottbaio what happened in his garage at his house when I was a minor. Creep,” she tweeted. In subsequent replies to twitter commenters, Eggert described herself as a “molested child” and said that she was 14, 15, 16 and 17 when the alleged incidents occurred. In response to Eggert's tweets, Baio tweeted: ”I’m about to do a Facebook live to prove her claims are 100% lies!." In the 16-minute video, Baio says Eggert first made the allegations in 2012 and 2013 when she was promoting a reality show, but he decided not to respond. "I don't know what else to put out there,” he said. “She's my best friend in the world, then all of a sudden I'm the bogeyman. The problem with almost all he said/she said cases is they're he said/she said. Now, go prove it or disprove it...the real problem with this is people with legitimate claims aren't taken seriously, and that's too bad."
