HARRIMAN (WATE) – A woman who played the medical assistant in the first three season of Star Trek: Voyager was arrested for indecent exposure.

Jennifer Ann Lien, 41, was arrested at her home in Harriman on September 3 at around 6:42 p.m. Deputies said Lien had an active warrant in Roane County on two counts of exposing herself to a child under the age of 13.

Roane County Sheriff’s Office was initially delivering a Detainer Summons. When they visited Lien’s house, her front door was open. After knocking on the door, she yelled at the officers to come in.

Deputies said Lien was naked on her couch, covered by a blanket. She told the officers she was expecting them.

She's been rumored to have had a history of mental illness that may have contributed her disappearance from acting, and, while it's no excuse for these actions, this arrest is the latest in a long, sad decline.

1. I disagree about the phrase "while it's no excuse for these actions"

Extreme mental illness, such as hers, can cause humans to do things that are not socially acceptable.
Poor woman.

5. I saw her speak at a comic con about 10 years ago

and it was clear, even then, that she was not well

7. How sad. I hope she gets the help she needs.

As I hope her victims get the help they need.

She did a great job as the sister in 'American History X' too.
