The latest twist in the ongoing accusations began when Nicole responded to a fan who had mocked Scott's post-"Charles" career on Twitter, as she said: "Ask Scott Baio what happened in his garage at his house when I was a minor. Creep." It was part of several accusations she's made about Charles having inappropriate sexual contact with her — despite having also said that she willingly lost her virginity to him at 17 years old!

Scott responded to the latest charge with a video where he carefully detailed a time line while going through documents — as his wife Renee provided support off-camera. In the video, Scott presented documentation to support his claim that Nicole was 18 years old during the filming of the final season of "Charles in Charge" — saying their sexual encounter (“She seduced me.”) only happened afterward.

As previously reported by The National ENQUIRER, Scott's "Charles in Charge" nightmare began in Dec. 2017. Alexander Polinsky — who started his showbiz career as young Adam Powell on the hit '80s sitcom — went to social media to say: "I‘m trying to contact former castmate Scott Baio...about the abuse I suffered and witnessed on the set of 'Charles in Charge.' Physical, mental, verbal & sexual abuse."

Alexander later added: "If I cannot [talk to him], I will go to the press," calling it "a matter of grave importance." Alexander hasn't accused Scott of any wrongdoing — but Nicole soon jumped in with her own accusations. She was asked via social media: "Nicole, why haven't you spoken out if Scott Baio abused you, too?" In a Tweet that she later deleted, Nicole replied: "Oh, I have!"

Nicole — seen here at right with "Charles" costars Josie Davis, Justin Whalin and Alexander in 1988 — has previously claimed that she lost her virginity to Baio at the age of 17. She's bitterly added: "Yeah, there was some flirting. Yeah, there was some messing around when I was, like, 16. And don't forget, he was in his 20s!"

The Facebook video is Scott's second response to the social media scandals — having given The National ENQUIRER an exclusive statement when Alexander first went public with his own shocking claims about sex scandals on the set of "Charles In Charge." He also referred back to that same statement in his Facebook video.

“Unfortunately," said Scott in Dec., "I have no idea what incident or incidents Alexander may be describing. I am told by my advisers that the only appropriate venue for reporting these crimes is a special bureau set up by the Los Angeles police department, and we will be in touch with them shortly to share this article. I urge Alexander to contact them directly, as they investigate many such circumstances quickly and with sensitivity.”
