The allegation against the late television presenter and Radio 1 DJ was made during the police investigation into child abuse at the former children’s home.
The police say that the allegation was investigated but there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
No charges were brought and the information has only now been made public.
Sir Jimmy, who died in October last year aged 84, has been accused of sexually abusing underage girls in an ITV documentary to be aired tomorrow.
He was a regular visitor to Jersey between the 1960s and 2003.
