A second nanny has launched legal action against Rob Lowe accusing his wife Sheryl of sexual harassment - just weeks after another Babysitter filed a similar suit against the actor. Former Babysitter Jessica Gibson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Lowe last month, alleging he touched her inappropriately on several occasions between September 2005 and January 2008.

Lowe has denied the claims and counters Jessica made up the allegations in an extortion scheme. And now another nanny has filed papers against the West Wing star's wife. Laura Boyce filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing Sheryl of sexual harassment and wrongful termination, insisting she created an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment ... behaving in a ... perverted, disgusting and crude manner."

Lowe's attorney Larry Stein has slammed the new allegations accusing Boyce's lawyer Gloria Allred - who also represents Gibson - of "dragging (Lowe's) wife and children into the fray."

He tells People.com, "Although framed as a sexual harassment claim against both Sheryl and Rob Lowe, the cross-complaint (from Boyce) alleges only words by Sheryl and never mentions any words or conduct by Rob whatsoever. The alleged statements by Sheryl are totally unrelated to, and do not provide any support for, Gibson's claims against Rob."

A deposition of the actor and his wife is set for May 19th and May 20th, respectively, in the couple's hometown of Santa Barbara, California.
