Scott Baio Won't Be Charged with Sexual Assault

Los Angeles prosecutors have decided not to pursue sexual assault charges against Charles in Charge alum Scott Baio because the statute of limitations to the alleged crime has run out. Nicole Eggert, Baio's former co-star and accuser, had plenty to say about the legal decision and Baio's claim of vindication in the case. Read on for her reaction.

Scott Baio will not be charged with sexual assault after his former Charles in Charge costar Nicole Eggert accused him in January of molesting her for years.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to press charges against the 57-year-old, citing, “The applicable statute of limitations to the crimes alleged by the victim have expired. Thus, the case is declined,” the DA noted in a charge evaluation sheet obtained by PEOPLE.

On Monday, Eggert tweeted, “Wait for it…dismissed on Statutes of Limitation…NEVER bcz of LACK OF EVIDENCE!! Case closed molester @scottbaio.”

She added in a second tweet, “Dismissed due to Statute of Limitation = GUILTY. Period.”

Baio’s spokesperson Brian Glicklich did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. However, Baio has repeatedly denied her claims, calling them “100 [percent] lies.”

“Why would I have a concern over something I didn’t do?” he said on Good Morning America. “Rather than take your case to social media, where people tend to beat up people like me, why not do it through the proper channels? You put up allegations like that, and it becomes like wildfire.”

He added that they were “never” alone together on the set.
