The Life and Struggles of Hollywood Actress Mia Farrow

In 1993, Connecticut State’s Attorney Frank Maco announces that he will not file criminal charges in the case. He explains that going to trial could cause further emotional harm to Dylan Farrow, especially given her age.

At the same time, he states that he believed there was enough evidence to potentially bring a case. This combination—no charges, but acknowledgment of evidence—leaves the situation unresolved. His decision becomes a key part of how the case is discussed publicly in the years that follow.
