Jamie Luner is being sued for $250million by the man who has accused the Melrose Place star of giving him meth and performing oral sex on him when he was just 16.

Anthony Oliver claims that he met Luner, who was 26 at the time, during a party at her house in 1998. He is suing her for emotional distress and sexual battery. 

Oliver's brother was a friend of Luner's makeup artist, who had developed a crush on the teen, according to TMZ

That's when Luner pulled out a small bag of crystal meth and told him 'it's going to make you real horny', Oliver said. 

Oliver declined and asked for two Tylenol pills instead, which he claims were laced with crystal meth. He said he then began to feel sexually aroused. 

He claims Luner then performed oral sex on him before putting his penis in the mouth of the male makeup artist. 

Oliver alleges he had sex with Luner multiple times, and that at one point she told him 'come bend me over the couch and ram me'. 

When his brother returned to the party he recorded the pair having sex, Oliver also claims.

Oliver says the experience turned him into an alcoholic and left him 'not knowing if he is attracted to men, women, or both,' according to the lawsuit. 

The lawsuit also claims two other men came froward to the Los Angeles Police Department to accuse Luner of drug-induced sex.   

A spokesperson with the LAPD told DailyMail.com earlier this month that the Robbery Homicide Division, who handles all celebrity and high profile cases, has not opened an investigation at this time into the Melrose Place star.

This comes after TMZ reported that the alleged victim filed a report with the LAPD, and that Luner might be facing a charge of oral copulation with a minor child.

Luner first rose to fame with her role on the Growing Pains spin-off Just the Ten of Us (Top row, left: Brooke Theiss, Matt Shakman, Bill Kirchenbauer,  Luner, JoAnn Willette; on steps, left: Deborah Harmon holding Riquel Kyle Shane, Heidi Zeigler (holding Jason/Jeremy Korstjens (Harvey), Heather Langenkamp)

Luner's manager told TheWrap that the allegations had 'no merit' and were a 'blatant attempt at extortion'.   

Even if Luner had been found guilty, she would have likely only been charged with a misdemeanor if the sex act was consensual due to the fact that the victim was over the age of 16 at the time of the incident.

Oral copulation with a minor child can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor under California state law, with the former largely reserved for instances in which the victim is under 16.

It can also be charged as a felony, however, if the victim is over 16 but was incapacitated or forced into the act at the time of the incident.

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum prison sentence of one year, while the felony charge can carry up to 10 years behind bars.

There is also a chance the statute of limitations has run out on this case - with California law requiring that a report be filed within one year of the offense if the act was consensual. 

In some non-consensual cases however, criminal charges can be filed within one year of a victim making a report to police.

Luner would have been in a relationship with John Braz at the time of the alleged offense.

She and the personal trainer began dating in 1995 but went their separate ways four years later around the time Melrose Place ended its run.

That is Luner's only known relationship, with the actress having always been incredibly private about the details of her love life. 

This despite getting her start in commercials while still a child and attending the famed Beverly Hills High before landing her first big role in 1988 on the popular television series Just the Ten of Us.

She then made memorable guest appearances on Growing Pains and Married With Children before snagging her next big part in 1996 on Savannah.

It was while auditioning for Savannah that Luner first met Aaron Spelling, would would give her the role on Melrose that made her an A-list television star.

Luner was one of television's biggest stars in the late 1990s thanks to her role as Lexi Sterling in Melrose Place, joining the cast in the sixth season and staying on until the show ended its run.

She immediately picked up an even bigger role as she took over for Ally Walker in the fourth season of Profiler, starring on 20 episodes of the NBC series before it was cancelled by the network.

Luner has made a number of guests appearances on television shows over the past 20 years and been featured in numerous Lifetime movies.

She also appeared in over 300 episodes of the popular soap opera All My Children from 2009 to 2011 in the role of Liza Colby, becoming the third actress to play the character.

Her recent work includes a ten-episode run on the TNT series Murder in the First back in 2016 and the lead role in the 2017 Lifetime film A Lover Betrayed.

She also recently wrapped work on two films slated fort release later this year, Tell Me I Love You and Deadly Runaway.

In 2015 she also received her degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.
