The decision came about a week after Kane's accuser told prosecutors she no longer wanted to pursue a criminal case against him. Prosecutors said the woman had signed a rare affidavit declining prosecution, with sources saying she cited the emotional toll the investigation had taken on her and her family. According to Sedita, that statement said she did "not wish to criminally prosecute the charges which stem out of this investigation. I do so of my own free will and without any promises or compensation."
