Scott Baio is celebrating a victory, but not necessarily innocence today. A judge has opted not to go forward with sexual assault charges against the actor because the statute of limitations has expired.
Yahoo continues, “Baio’s former co-star, Nicole Eggert, filed a police report against him in February, claiming that he sexually assaulted her while she was a teenager and working with him on the 1980s sitcom. Alexander Polinsky, another child actor on the show, has alleged that Baio assaulted and mentally tortured him.
Baio has denied all the allegations and said that he and Eggert were in a consensual relationship when she was of legal age.”
