Actor Scott Baio won’t face prosecution over allegations made against him by fellow “Charles in Charge” star Nicole Eggert:

Eggert had claimed that Baio started molesting her at age 14:

According to media reports, the statute of limitations has expired on anything potentially prosecutable. But shouldn’t Eggert’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, have known this BEFORE going forward?
Proud to represent you @NicoleEggert as you've spoken out and inspired others. LET'S ABOLISH THE STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. Most victims aren't ready to talk about it for many years. Daily I have to tell victims they have no recourse. https://t.co/HqspeNQMpM

And the two sides differ on what exactly the D.A. said about Eggert’s charges:
It was reported earlier Wednesday that after a meeting with the District Attorney, Eggert’s claims were found “credible,” but upon contacting the D.A.’s office we were told that the report was “not true.” https://t.co/ONmTO7F0tH

Baio later vowed to hold Eggert accountable for her “untrue claims”:
