Nicole Eggert Reports Scott Baio to Police for Alleged Sexual Abuse
In a recent interview with Megyn Kelly, Nicole Eggert detailed her accusations against Scott Baio. She accuses him of having sexually abused her “once a week” while she was 14 until she was 17 while the two of them were filming Charles in Charge.
Scott Baio, who is more than a decade older, has repeatedly denied her account, at one point claiming that they had sex once when she was 18, at another point insisting that he’d never seen her off of the set.
Now, Nicole Eggert is taking things a step forward by reporting her accusations to police.
In a statement to Daily News, Nicole Eggert’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, reveals that her client has spoken with the LAPD and shared her accusations of seuxal abuse and molestation towards Scott Baio.
“Nicole answered all of their questions and told her story of sexual abuse by Scott Baio when she was a minor.”
The alleged molestation began when she was 14. Scott Baio is 11 years older than she is.
“We appreciate the Los Angeles police detectives’ interest in this case, and we will fully cooperate with their investigation.”
California’s laws regarding statutes of limitations with respect to child molestation are complicated and have changed multiple times over the decades, but speaking to the police now is not as fruitless as some may assume.
Lisa Bloom’ statement continues:
“Many have reached out to Nicole and me to say that they witnessed inappropriate behavior from Scott Baio when Nicole was underage.”
TMZ notes that Alexander Polinsky confirmed to police that he witnessed some of the alleged sexual abuse.
Polinsky played Adam Powell on Charles in Charge. According to Nicole Eggert’s accusations, Scott Baio was often touching or groping her on set or pulling her into his lap.
“We provided those names to the police today.”
Having witnesses can be very helpful when someone intends to prove their case.
In case you need a grim refresher, Nicole Eggert describes the first incident with Scott Baio as having taken place in his garage when she was 14.
He would have been 25 at the time.
She says that he digitally penetrated her at the time, which was the start of the alleged sexual abuse that she says happened about once a week until she was 17.
Nicole says that it was when she was 17 that Scott Baio had penetrative sex with her, at which point their inappropriate (and illegal) relationship ended.
On top of the statutory rape allegation, Nicole admits that she was awestruck but also notes that Scott Baio was effectively her boss and allegedly cautioned her that, if anyone found out what they were doing, everyone on the show would lose their jobs.
“I remember her calling me and asking me to come over and coming in my house one time, and seducing me.”
“Any normal heterosexual, red-blooded American guy, the outcome would have been the same.”
Interesting, Scott Baio went on Good Morning America and claimed that he never even saw Nicole off of the set.
That appears to be an interesting shift in his story.
Also interesting is that Scott Baio has accused Nicole Eggert of changing her story, citing an old interview during which Nicole did not share any upsetting details or suggest that anything untoward had happened with Baio until she was 18.
It’s worth noting that the man who interviewed her at that time confirmed to Megyn Kelly that Nicole became visibly upset after the interview; she had shared with him, off of the air, that she had not described
Nicole says that, at that time, she simply wasn’t ready to come forward. That is common for survivors of sexual abuse.
So, remember how we said that statute of limitations laws are super complex in California?
When last we checked, their legislature is still debating the right way to go about them when it comes to childhood sexual abuse. It’s an important topic, particularly in a state that houses more than 12% of the US population. That’s a lot of kids, folks.
So, though the law has changed over the years, Nicole Eggert’s specific accusations can potentially go to a criminal trial.
Even though California has a 10 year statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse, the crime can be prosecuted within one year of a survivor telling police, even after the 10 year period.
In case anyone wonders why this might be, it’s because it’s almost unheard of for someone to endure sexual abuse — which most often takes place at the hands of a family member, caretaker, or trusted family friend — until they turn 18, and them promptly march into a police station and report what happened.
Childhood sexual abuse is damaging, and a combination of shame and survival instincts often makes the people who survive it unwilling to talk about it until many years later — if then.
One year is not a long time to build a case, so we’ll see how this pans out for the LAPD investigators.

Scott Baio Lashes Out at Nicole Eggert, Sexual Abuse Allegations
Scott Baio made his voice heard on Good Morning America today.
Loudly and defiantly.
Faced with allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior by former Charles in Charge co-star Nicole Eggert, Baio sat across from Amy Robach on Wednesday and strongly defended actions.
(Eggert said last week on social media that Baio molested her back when she was 14 years old and he was 26.)
“The story seems to change quite a bit and I can’t keep up with it quite honestly,” Baio Robach on GMA, expounding as follows:
“I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a sitcom set but on any given day… there are teachers, parents, family, crew, producers, my dad.
“So how any of this could have happened is absolutely impossible and I don’t know how anybody can believe what she’s saying when her first allegation of having sex when [she] was 17 proved to be 100 percent false.
“And her story keeps changing. She makes up new things.”
Baio quickly replied to Eggert’s allegation by admitting the co-stars had sex, but he said Eggert came on to him and he said the intercourse took place when she was 18 years old.
Were there any sexual encounters when Eggert was underage?
“Absolutely nothing,” Baio said today, adding:
“And I find it interesting that the moment that her first allegation that we had sex when she was 17 – which is not true – as soon as that was proven to be 100 percent false she comes up with a new story where something happened once a week for years.”
Indeed, Eggert has said Baio molested her from the age of 14 through the age of 16, approximately.
She told Megyn Kelly this week that Baio “penetrated” her with his finger inside his garage, just before her 15th birthday.
“And that is when the sexual touching and abuse started, after that,” the actress told Kelly.
“I was very young. And it was shocking, a little. I had never experienced anything like that before, either.”
She claims Baio warned her not to tell anyone because he would go to jail and the show on which they both starred would be canceled.
But the actor denies every part of this allegation.
He says that he and Eggert only had sex once and that she was 18 at the time.
“Nicole and I were friends after our only sexual encounter,” he told GMA, continuing:
“She aggressively sought me out because she wanted me to be her first so she would be good for her boyfriend. Those are her words.”
Despite the claims and the obvious bad blood that exists now, Baio says that his time on Charles in Charge “was great” and that Eggert was a “talented girl.”
“We had a great time on the set. Everybody liked each other. Everybody got along.
Is he concerned that Eggert might go to the police with her allegations?
“No,” he replied. “Why would I have a concern over something that I didn’t do?”
