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.

Neighbor Carey Smith says Lien recently walked by her home and commented on how the children were being cared for while two were crying.

“Started saying vulgar things. I mean really vulgar things, I told her to mind her own business and keep on walking,” said Smith.

That’s when things got even stranger.

“All of a sudden, here come the shirt up. She started flashing and, ‘Woo hoo,’ and I said, ‘And what respect is that for kids?’ There was none. And then she turned around and dropped her pants,” said Smith.

Parents, worried things might escalate, then called 911.

“I didn’t understand why she was doing it,” said Kayla Clark.

At the time, Lien denied to police that she exposed herself, but officers issued a detainer summons, charging her with indecent exposure.

When Roane County deputies visited Lien’s house, her front door was open. After knocking on the door, she yelled at deputies to come in.

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

Then dispatch told the deputies that Lien had an active warrant from the Harriman City Police Department. When they told her about the warrant, she said they needed to leave her alone, saying she wasn’t going any (expletive) where.

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.

Eventually, deputies said the put Lien in handcuffs, putting a shirt and pants from the jail on her. They said she refused to walk to the patrol car and they had to carry her to the car, before driving to the Roane County Detention Center. Lien’s bond was set at $2,500.

Parents say they are worried and angry about the impression made on their children.

“She pretty much copies everything that I do and I’m pretty sure she would copy somebody else doing that behavior and I don’t want that her to,” said Clark.

Lien has a criminal history that includes aggravated assault, resisting arrest, evading arrest and reckless endangerment on April 17 by the Harriman Police Department.

On June 4, 2012 she was also arrested for domestic assault in Roane County.

I thought she was really good as Davina in American History X, too bad she seems to be on a self destructing path.

Now look at her psychical decline in the photos.

It's not a self destructing path. She's getting old.

I think it's a bit of both.

She's self-destructing because she doesn't know how to handle getting older and (mostly) Falling From Grace.

Who does?

She used to attention. Maybe that way older porn stars and model kill themselves.

That and the fact that things-just-stopped-going-her-way.

She had a 'successful' TV career going (for a few years anyway) and then...nothing.


It can be overwhelming to say the least.


My guess is that she is clinically depressed.

Clinically depressed.. Retirement.. Feeling sorry for yourself.. same thing.

Getting arrested and exposing yourself to children and strangers is not "getting old".

You can call it what YOU want to, but it's a self destructive path.

Life can hand you circumstances with which you are totally unequipped to deal.

If you have never experienced this, you won't believe it and/or fully understand it until/if you do.

It defies explanation/understanding.

It is the biblical Job experience.

The Wilderness experience.

The Dark Night Of The Soul experience.



Suicide is often the result.
