Woody daughter renews abuse claim

Director and actor Woody Allen at the French premiere of Blue Jasmine in Paris
2 February 2014

Dylan Farrow has renewed sex abuse claims against director Woody Allen, saying he molested her when she was seven after she was adopted by him and actress Mia Farrow.

In an open letter to The New York Times posted online, Ms Farrow made her first public comments about the 1992 incident, telling columnist Nicholas Kristof that Allen "got away with what he did" and it "haunted" her.

Ms Farrow, 28, said she was led to comment after Allen was recently honoured with a Golden Globes lifetime achievement award and said Hollywood's continued embrace of Allen worsened her torment.

Allen was investigated for child molestation but was never charged. However, the investigating prosecutor said there was "probable cause".

Representatives for Allen did not immediately return requests for comment.
