A former star of the 1980s television show "The Dukes of Hazzard" who's accused of groping a female cast member of a musical he was supposed to appear in now faces charges he indecently assaulted a 16-year-old girl in Massachusetts.
Court records show Tom Wopat is charged with assaulting the girl and a woman in July while rehearsing for the musical "42nd Street" at the Waltham-based Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston. The Boston Globe reports the charges were made public Tuesday (26 Sept. 2017).
A police report says Wopat allegedly hit the girl's buttocks with his script, saying "nice butt."
Wopat has pleaded not guilty to groping the woman.
Wopat played Luke Duke on the "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Neither Wopat's attorney nor his publicist has responded to a request seeking comment.

Uncle jesse would be so dissapointed

[@Bigtime1972]

Just a little bit more than the law will allow.

[@jackkonnof4106]

Sad to see Tom this way. Bo and Luke were our role models as kids. We all looked up to them. Really sad to see someone you always looked up to struggle with things like this. I hope Tom gets it together but after his recent DUI its not looking so good. Sad.

[@ebogar42]

Role models? They were always eluding police, breaking out of jail, speeded everywhere and put lives in danger, could never settle down with one girl, and were felons because they ran illegal moonshine. 😂😂

[@CountryboyRew]

It doesn't surprise me a bit. My brothers wife works for a dentist in New Jersey where he goes sometimes and she always says he's been doing cocaine

[@jerryimpini]

My God, the least they could do is spell his name right: "Tom Wopat" not "Wolpat". There's no "l" in the last name.

[@mr.t6142]

PS, his coke was for personal use only Lol!
