Nicole Eggert files police report against Scott Baio
The actress claims that Baio sexually assaulted her in the 1980s.
Bloom continued, "We appreciate the Los Angeles police detectives' interest in this case, 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 those names to the police today. If anyone else has information please contact us."
Eggert, 46, claimed in a since-deleted tweet from Jan. 27 that the actor began molesting her when she was 14, and added that it continued for a few years. She later said during an interview on "Megyn Kelly TODAY" that Baio, now 57, began grooming her when she first arrived on-set in September, 1986 and molested her for the first time in his car shortly thereafter.
“He was playing not only on my emotions, but my hormones and all of those things," she said, calling the incident "shocking." "He was our boss and he also 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 and you'll ruin everybody's life,' and it's scary. That's intimidating, especially when you're that young."
Eggert added that for the next few years, Baio would behave inappropriately toward her on set, and said that she had her first sexual encounter at age 17 with Baio. "It wasn't a good experience at all," she said, noting that he behaved differently toward her after the encounter. “He didn’t treat me well on set after it happened. He was quite mean to me."

Scott Baio abuse claims: Actor Alexander Polinsky speaks out about sexual harassment, abuse
"I was sexually harassed by Scott Baio and ultimately assaulted by him between the ages of 12 and 15 years old," Polinsky said at a news conference alongside fellow co-star Nicole Eggert and their attorney, Lisa Bloom.
"Mr. Baio repeatedly told me about gay sex acts that he told me I would grow up to perform. I would protest and asked him to stop saying these things, but he said it was for my own good," Polinsky said, adding that Baio would tell him he was unlovable and defective.
In one instance, Baio pulled down Polinsky's pants in front of more than 100 people, Polinsky said. In another instance, Polinsky said Baio cut a hole in the canvas wall of Polinsky's private dressing room on set, and Baio exposed his genitals to him.
Polinsky recalled another instance in which he faked throwing a basketball to Baio. "He got startled, and in anger, he assaulted me by throwing a burning hot cup of tea in my face. I ran from the set crying. Scott later apologized, but the abuse continued," Polinsky said.
