Woody Allen's Daughter Gives Details of Alleged Sexual Molestation

In an interview with CBS This Morning this week, Dylan Farrow, adoptive daughter of filmmaker Woody Allen, gave details of the sexual abuse she says Allen subjected her to when she was very young. Farrow first spoke up about the alleged abuse when she was only seven years old, and she also went public with the accusations again a few years ago. The story is surfacing again thanks to new attention being paid to the prevalence of sexual misconduct among men in Hollywood.

“I loved my father. I respected him. He was my hero. And that doesn’t obviously take away from what he did,” Dylan Farrow began her harrowing retelling of the sexual abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of Woody Allen on “CBS This Morning” on Thursday. “But it does make the betrayal and the hurt that much more intense.”

Farrow, now 32, recounted the sexual assault allegations she first made against her adoptive father in 1993.

“I was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother’s country house in Connecticut by my father. He instructed me to lay down on my stomach and play with my brother’s toy train that was set up,” she said in her first television interview, echoing the same account she gave in her 2014 New York Times op-ed.

“And he sat behind me in the doorway, and as I played with the toy train, I was sexually assaulted. As a 7-year-old I would have said, ‘He touched my private parts.’ As a 32-year-old, he touched my labia and my vulva with his fingers.”

Farrow also accused Allen of following her around, adding, “He was always touching me and cuddling me. If I said I wanted to go off by myself, he wouldn’t let me … He would ask me to get into bed with him when he only had his underwear on or when I only had my underwear on. He wasn’t like this with [brother and Mia and Allen’s biological son] Ronan.”
