Nicole Eggert filed a police report on Tuesday against former Charles in Charge costar Scott Baio after he dared her to do so. The actress told Los Angeles detectives that Baio sexually abused her when she was a minor, according to Eggerts lawyer, Lisa Bloom.

LAPD detectives interviewed Eggert in Blooms office, TMZ reported.

Nicole answered all of their questions for over an hour and told her story of sexual abuse by Scott Baio when she was a minor, Bloom said in a statement Wednesday to HuffPost. She said Charles in Charge costar Alexander Polinsky told the detectives about inappropriate touching he witnessed, as well.

We appreciate the Los Angeles police detectives interest in this case, and we will fully cooperate with their investigation, Bloom added.

Last month, Eggert accused Baio on social media and in television interviews of sexually assaulting her when she was underage. She said Baio, who is 11 years older, digitally penetrated her when she was 14, and had intercourse with her when she was 17.

Baio has denied the claims, saying he and Eggert had consensual sex when she was 18. He has repeatedly told Eggert to file a police report, and wrote in a Facebook post Jan. 28 that his lawyers requested that she go to the police.
