Scott Baio adamantly denies a claim that he sexually abused an underage \u201cCharles in Charge\u201d co-star and says she seduced him when she was 18 and legally an adult.<\/b>
\nOn Tuesday, Nicole Eggert, speaking on \u201cMegyn Kelly Today,\u201d said Baio first molested her when she was 14, and they had sexual intercourse when she was 17. The age of consent in California is 18. Baio is more than 11 years older than Eggert.
Baio said Wednesday on ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d that \u201cfalse allegations\u201d against him have \u201cgot to stop\u201d for the sake of his wife and 10-year-old daughter.
He said his daughter \u201cdoes not need to be hearing about this from friends at school.\u201d
Baio said molestation would have been \u201cabsolutely impossible\u201d on a set filled with teachers, relatives, crew members and producers.
During a consensual encounter when she was of legal age, Eggert told him that she wanted him to \u201cbe her first\u201d sexual partner, Baio said.
Baio said they he remained friends after that encounter. He remembered Eggert as a \u201ctalented girl. We had a great time on the set…. Everybody got along.\u201d
However, he added that Eggert \u201cmakes up\u201d things, and he\u2019s \u201cnot the first person\u201d to become a target.
He was asked about Eggert\u2019s remarks that she is exploring legal options and is considering filing a police report.
\u201cWhy would I have a concern over something I didn\u2019t do?\u201d he said. \u201cRather than take your case to social media… why not do it through the proper channels?\u201d
