Jennifer Lien In Legal Trouble Again

Star Trek: Voyager’s ‘Kes’ charged with exposing herself to children in Harriman

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.

...

The two deputies repeatedly asked Lien to put on clothes, eventually calling for a female deputy. They said Lien told them she would have all of them shot and killed.


I feel really terrible for her. Kes was one of my fav characters on Voyager. Sad to see her collapse in on herself like this.
 
Is it drug related?

Too shy for conventions but happy to flash her boobs at the neighbours? I thought she was just having the occasional silly problem but this seems like a serious mental health issue.

Yikes.
 
She needs to be in a mental institution. Based on the news we've got, and how she looks, She might be dead within 10 years unless she gets help. What a waste of a life that looked like it was starting so promising.
 
Some people can't handle being a celebrity, some people can't handle life after being a celebrity.

A shame. I thought she was a talented actress.
 
While I can't say for sure, I expect there may be some underlying (mental) health issues here, and I sincerely hope that she can get the help and care she may need if so. :(
 
Sadly, bad news about Jennifer's private life attracts people....

Hope she gets out of that shit ......
 
Does anybody know if the other cast members on the show know about this, and if they've tried to do anything for her?

I don't think any of the cast have spoken with her in at least 5 years. Even prior to her dropping off the convention circuit, their contact with her was very minimal. I remember asking Bob Picardo and Ethan Phillips about her in the mid-2000s, as both had photos pre-signed by her (and themselves) for sale, and the impression I got was they rarely spoke with her except for such things (and I think they did that to help her out financially; giving her the proceeds from such sales). I got the familiar "shy" line as well.

I feel so badly for her. She's not some sort of eccentric rich bad-boy celebrity out there cursing racial epitaphs like Mel Gibson who, for such racism at least, deserves some scorn for such. She doesn't deserve this sort of public spectacle as making the local news. I'm dreading this appearing on a site like Huffington post, who always does the "look at the former celebrity whose got arrested" type posts.

I feel dirty even talking about it here. :( Only solace is, at least we're empathetic and not "ooh, lookie".
 
AGAIN? This is happening AGAIN?

Somethings got to be done for Ms. Lien, before she ends up in prison with mental illness (and that's not a good thing to happen to you if you're like that in the USA.)

Does anybody know if the other cast members on the show know about this, and if they've tried to do anything for her?

She was arrested in 2012 by the Roane County sheriff for domestic abuse.

Earlier this year: She rammed a police cruiser while fleeing arrest.
Jennifer Ann Lien of Harriman is accused of striking a police vehicle during a pursuit last week. Lien is charged with evading arrest, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault in the incident.

I think being fans of the franchise, we are going to take notice when these things happen.

Everyone took notice of Stephen Collins issues as well.

For me, it's her living not to far from me and me having family in the area she lives. So whenever her name pops up in the paper, I hear about it. What's odd, if I think I might have met her once or twice when I was in the area and just not recognized who she was.

I really liked her on Voyager, I thought she just got out of acting, I'd never thought she would have went down the path she did. Hope she gets some help for whatever her problem is.
 
Yes it could be drugs, or alcohol, but it could just be pride.

The problem with an indecent exposure charge is that you could be doing something completely innocent like not shitting in your pants, and then a surprise passer-by sees your bottom and over reacts. Who the hell is going to chose to shit their pants just because someone might see their bottom when it seems like you're alone in a park?

She said to the cops: "I knew you were coming"

What we are reading here sounds like a protest, more than that they caught her unawares or that she is always naked like most home owners are. Maybe Jennifer did not feel like what she was being charged with made any sense so this was a proportionate resonse on her part?

In Jennifer's own back yard on a hot day, she takes her top off becuase she's sweating balls, and a nieghbour kid is spying on her through a hole in the fence.

Swimming.

Breast feeding. Seriously if this is about breast feeding in public I am going to toss my toys.

I have seen the presentation of a single breast being used as an equivilent gesture to giveing the finger. Not often. Once actually. but it does happen?

By the way, if it's her own kids it shouldn't count. If it's some asshole in the distance is complaining that she's "sometimes" between the shower and the bathroom not covered in front of her own children, that's asking for too much. Seeing your parents naked is unavoidedly disgusting if you live with them, but not sexual in anyway.

Seriously.

I need more information, becuase I can make her look a thousand time worse, or comopletely inocent with the slither of facts that have been presented to me.

Don't remind me: Stephen Collins, Bill Cosby.... childhood heroes.

And I really wish Jennifer all the help she can get. Other than that I'm speachless. It depends on if she wants to be helped. I don't want to see her in jail....
She looks quite careworn and sullen.

She looks like she has a drug problem. Seems like we just went down this road not that long ago with Lisa Robin Kelly from That 70's Show.

I hope Jennifer Lien's story has a happier ending.

I gave my parents a couple seasons of Devious Maids to watch. Pretty women and trashy story lines, something for everyone. But they got uptight about how unbelievable Steven Collins was when he was revealed as the big bad murderer of season one.

"He's an ordinary guy, he doesn't look or act evil, seriously they could have cast someone to be the murderer who at least looked or acted like a deviant."

True story.

I had this weird thought.

What if none of this is happening.

What if it's a hoax?

(I know it is happening.)

What if this is guerilla marketing, to edge Jennifer in for her addition to the cast of Orange is the New Black next year?

We had it with Amy Winehouse. A talented singer destroyed by alcohol and drugs.

And we know, that Amy never wanted to go to Rehab.....

She comes back to the conventions but this time, she's really angry and starts tearing up the place. She blames Mulgrew for putting ideas into her head about seeking out better conventions but Mulgrew and Russ convince her that she used to be a nice girl and everything works out.

Too soon?

I want to set her up on a date with Nicholas Brendon.

OMG.

That would be a disturbed video game.

Nicholas & Jennifer vs. Comicon.
