Scott Baio Accused By Male ‘Charles In Charge’ Costar

Scott Baio is now facing a police investigation after his "Charles in Charge" costar Nicole Eggert accused him of molesting her as a minor — and now he's being accused of abuse by former child star Alexander Polinsky!

The National ENQUIRER first reported when Alex went public with claims of abuse on the "Charles In Charge" set — but the former child star didn't name Scott as his abuser. That's changed with his new shocking statement, as Alex says: "Growing up on the show, I received regular verbal attacks, mental abuse and I also suffered a physical assault at the hands of Scott Baio."

That's changed with his new shocking statement, as Alex says: "Growing up on the show, I received regular verbal attacks, mental abuse and I also suffered a physical assault at the hands of Scott Baio."

Alexander came forward to support Nicole — who, in turn, went public with her claims of Scott molesting her as a minor to show support for Alex's statement. Scott originally challenged Nicole to go to the police with any complaints of criminal activity — and she met with Los Angeles police on Feb. 7. Nicole then went into graphic detail about her claims during an appearance on "The Talk."

When asked how old she was when Scott allegedly molestedher, Nicole (with Alex at right, along with "Charles" costars Josie Davis and Justin Whalin) replied: “14 years old." She continued: “He had me at his home, in his car, in his garage and he penetrated my vagina with his finger. This is where it began, and this continued almost on a weekly basis for years."

“Of course,” continued Nicole, “the abuse progressed from there quite a bit — although I remained a virgin until I was 17.” Scott and Nicole have both publicly stated that she lost her virginity to her former costar. Scott, however, said that was “our only sexual encounter, which she aggressively sought. She wanted me to be her first so that she will be good for her boyfriend.”

In an earlier exclusive statement to The ENQUIRER, Scott said that he had “no idea what incident or incidents Alexander may be describing.” He's also continued to deny claims by Nicole, saying: “How any of this could have happened is absolutely impossible...Her stories keep changing. She keeps making up new things.”
