WI: Woody Allen Prosecuted for Child Molestation

In August of 1992, American Filmmaker, Actor, and Comedian Woody Allen was accused by Dylan Farrow, his then seven year old adopted daughter, of having molested her in the home of her adopted mother, Mia Farrow. This led to a police investigation into the matter, and also child custody battles(Which Allen lost). On September 24th, 1993, Frank Maco, The State Attorney, held a news conference announcing that he would not file criminal charges against Allen, despite having probable cause, saying that he didn't want to traumatize Dylan even further.
What if Maco had decided to file criminal charges against Allen in connection to Dylan Farrow's Allegation against him? What Happens? Would Allen be convicted? Or would he be acquitted? How long would the trial last? How many years would Allen be facing if convicted? Regardless of the verdict, what impact would the trial have on Woody Allen's career?
