| Dylan Farrow has denied that she was “brainwashed” or “coached” into accusing her father Woody Allen of sexual assault, in her first televised interview about the allegations. | Dylan Farrow has denied that she was “brainwashed” or “coached” into accusing her father Woody Allen of sexual assault, in her first televised interview about the allegations. |
| In the interview on CBS This Morning, Farrow detailed her version of the events of 4 August 1992, when she alleges Allen assaulted her as a 7-year-old, and denied that her mother had influenced her. “What I don’t understand is how is this crazy story of me being brainwashed and coached more believable than what I’m saying about being sexually assaulted by my father?” she said. | In the interview on CBS This Morning, Farrow detailed her version of the events of 4 August 1992, when she alleges Allen assaulted her as a 7-year-old, and denied that her mother had influenced her. “What I don’t understand is how is this crazy story of me being brainwashed and coached more believable than what I’m saying about being sexually assaulted by my father?” she said. |
| Farrow described Allen touching “my labia and my vulva with his finger”. She told interviewer Gayle King that her mother was out shopping when the assault occurred. “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. “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 say, I would have said he touched my private parts.” | Farrow described Allen touching “my labia and my vulva with his finger”.

| CBS News spoke to the Connecticut state prosecutor on the case, Frank Maco, who said that “there was no manipulation by Mia Farrow.” At the time, Maco said there was “probable cause” to charge Allen but did not want to cause Dylan distress with a trial. | CBS News spoke to the Connecticut state prosecutor on the case, Frank Maco, who said that “there was no manipulation by Mia Farrow.” At the time, Maco said there was “probable cause” to charge Allen but did not want to cause Dylan distress with a trial. |
| Allen denied the allegations again, having provided CBS News with a new statement. “Even though the Farrow family is cynically using the opportunity afforded by the Time’s Up movement to repeat this discredited allegation, that doesn’t make it any more true today than it was in the past,” it read. “I never molested my daughter – as all investigations concluded a quarter of a century ago.” | Allen denied the allegations again, having provided CBS News with a new statement. “Even though the Farrow family is cynically using the opportunity afforded by the Time’s Up movement to repeat this discredited allegation, that doesn’t make it any more true today than it was in the past,” it read. “I never molested my daughter – as all investigations concluded a quarter of a century ago.” |
