Former child star Alexander Polinsky first went public with accusations of physical and mental abuse last week. in a statement read on The Talk.  Now, he’ll speak out for the first time about the sexual harassment and abuse he claims to have endured by Baio on the set of the 1980s sitcom.

Eggert has claimed Baio sexually abused her when she was a minor. Polinksy supported her claims, saying he witnessed Baio behaving inappropriately to her on set. Polinsky played Adam Powell on Charles in Charge from the ages of 11 to 15.

Last week, Eggert filed a police report with the LAPD against Baio, who has denied Eggert’s claims.
