Steven Seagal Will Not Face Charges In Sexual Assault Case Brought By Faviola Dadis

Anthony J. Falangetti, Seagal’s attorney, said they “are very pleased with the outcome.”

He said he was grateful with how the case was decided and how the prosecutors worked on it. He also added that Seagal wants to put the accusations behind him. “From a career standpoint, he wants to move on,” Falangetti said.

That may be difficult. Over several decades, Seagal has faced over half a dozen accusations of sexual assault, including rape. Actresses, film workers, and reporters have all accused him.

Lisa Bloom, the attorney representing Dadis and Simons, expressed frustration at state laws that stopped women from obtaining justice regardless of how the public may view Seagal.

“The law fails to recognize that few minors are emotionally ready to seek justice against their rapists until many years later,” Bloom said in a statement.

“Instead, it offers rapists a ‘get out of jail free’ card if they simply pass an arbitrary time deadline. And the law seems to presume that victims are lying, creating an unfairly high evidentiary standard not required in other criminal cases. Few rapists commit their crimes in the presence of witnesses.”
