Woody Allen abused me, says adopted daughter

Oscar-winning filmmaker Woody Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has accused her father of sexually abusing her when she was seven.

Farrow, 28, wrote an open letter in TheNew York Times , accusing Allen of “sexually assaulting” her in 1993.

Allegations of abuse began then, but Allen, 77, has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and has maintained his innocence.

“When I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me,” she wrote in the letter.

Allen and Dylan’s mother Mia Farrow adopted Dylan and her brother Moses in 1987. During a custody battle for the children in 1992, Farrow filed charges of molestation against Allen, but the case was later dropped.
