Scott Baio is intent on clearing his
name when it comes to his former "Charles in Charge" co-star Nicole
Eggert's allegations of sexual assault.
The
Associated Press reports that in June the Los Angeles County District
Attorney's Office, citing the expired statute of limitations, declined to file charges against the 57-year-old best known for his roles on "Happy Days" and its spinoff "Joanie Loves Chachi."
In February, Eggert, 46, took her assault claim to the Los Angeles Police Department following
an appearance on the CBS daytime program "The Talk." Eggert alleged her
experiences with Baio while filming "Charles in Charge" ranged from
flirting and inappropriate touching when she was 14 to intercourse when
she was 17. (Baio is about 12 years Eggert's senior.)
Thursday,
in a press conference livestreamed on his Facebook page, Baio offered
examples from statements provided to the LAPD claiming Eggert was
"obsessed" with Baio and displayed behavior that was "borderline
stalking."
