Jamie Luner, who played Lexi Sterling on the hit series Melrose Place, has reportedly been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior, according to TMZ. The site reports that a man in his 30s recently filed a police report, in which he reportedly claims that Jamie allegedly performed oral sex on him in 1998. At the time, he was just 16 years old. No details have been revealed about the identity of this unnamed man, or what his relationship to Jamie was. The cops are reportedly investigating the situation. However, with the alleged incident taking place 20 years ago, the statue of limitations has passed in California, so even if the investigation uncovers anything legitimate, there may be nothing officials can do.
