Woody Allen’s adopted daughter recalls years of sexual abuse by the legendary director



n Saturday February 1st, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published on his blog an open letter written by Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of actress Mia Farrow and legendary Hollywood film director Woody Allen.

The 28 year old who is now married described in vivid and horrifying detail how Allen sexually molested her from age 7. Dylan recalled how her abuse started and how it went on for a while. She then talks about her difficulties growing up with almost no one believing her, a victim, and everyone loving and praising Allen, a molester.

Farrow split from Allen in 1992 when she found out he was having an affair with another daughter, Soon-Yi who she adopted from Korea in 1978. She reported the sexual relationship between Allen and Soon-Yi and also filed charges that Allen had molested their daughter Dylan, then 7 years old.  Allen denied the charges and was never prosecuted. Allen went on to marry Soon Yi in 1997.
