Jamie Luner, the 46-year-old former Melrose Place star, has been accused of performing a sex act on a teenage boy back in 1998. According to TMZ, the alleged victim claims he was 16 at the time of the offense. A report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department claiming that Luner performed oral sex on him in 1998. She is currently being investigated.
While she was known for her role of Lexi Sterling on Melrose Place, Luner also starred on as Rachel Burke in the final season of Profiler, portraying Liza Colby on the ABC soap opera All My Children from April 2009 until its final episode in 2011. Luner has also starred in many Lifetime movies.

Jamie Luner — you know her as Lexi Sterling on “Melrose Place” — has been accused of sexual misconduct with an underage male … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … a man in his 30s filed a police report with the LAPD alleging that back in 1998 Jamie performed oral sex on him when he was just 16.
The nature of the relationship is unclear — whether the man was a teen actor or just someone she knew. Cops are investigating like they would anyone who reports a crime, but their hands might be tied … with the statute of limitations in California having lapsed. We’ve reached out to Jamie, so far no word back.
Luner would have been 26 at the time of the alleged sexual assault. She is now being investigated and could be facing a charge of oral copulation with a minor child. However, if found guilty, Luner may only face a misdemeanor charge if the sex act was consensual given that the victim was over the age of 16 at the time. The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum prison sentence of one year.
She has yet to comment on the allegations against her.
