Actor Scott Baio took to Facebook on Saturday to address and strongly deny accusations made by his former co-star on “Charles in Charge” that he molested her.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, 46-year-old actress Nicole Eggert claimed she was “molested” repeatedly from the time she was 14 until she was 17.
“Ask @scottbaio what happened in his garage at his house when I was a minor. Creep,” the series of tweets by Eggert began. She subsequently deleted tweets published in E!News and The New York Post where she wrote “A molested child is irrelevent? That is what u r saying?” and “I was 14,15,16 and 17.”

Baio himself then responded on Twitter, saying he was going on Facebook Live to “prove her claims are 100% lies!” and to tell “the truth.”
