Dylan Farrow Pens Open Letter: Woody Allen 'Sexually Assaulted Me' at Age 7 Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, has written a first person account published on The New York Times' website that details her allegation that she was sexually assaulted by the film director at age 7. "[W]hen 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," Farrow wrote in an open letter posted on Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's blog. In an editors note at the top of the Times blog post, Kristof wrote that the letter was "the first time that Dylan Farrow herself has written about it in public." The renewed accusations surface as Allen's Blue Jasmine was nominated for three Academy Awards, including best original screenplay for the director. Farrow also wrote that Hollywood figures have turned a "blind eye" to the accusations and specifically asked Alec Baldwin, Cate Blanchett, and Louis C.K. -- who all appear in Blue Jasmine -- "What if it had been your child"? "Woody Allen was never convicted of any crime. That he got away with what he did to me haunted me as I grew up," she wrote, adding: "That torment was made worse by Hollywood. All but a precious few (my heroes) turned a blind eye. Most found it easier to accept the ambiguity, to say, 'who can say what happened,' to pretend that nothing was wrong. Actors praised him at awards shows. Networks put him on TV. Critics put him in magazines." Farrow wrote: "Woody Allen is a living testament to the way our society fails the survivors of sexual assault and abuse." On Jan. 12, after Diane Keaton accepted Allen's Golden Globes honor, Ronan Farrow, the son of Allen, wrote on Twitter: "Missed the Woody Allen tribute -- did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?" Allen and Mia Farrow split up as a couple in 1992.

2. Conveniently for Hollywood, Allen has never been convicted. That allows actors such as Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin to file the Allen accusations under "Matters, Private" instead of "Matters, Public" and wash their hands of the whole issue.
"It's obviously been a long and painful situation for the family and I hope they find some sort of resolution and peace," Blanchett told blogger Jeffrey Wells.
And Alec Baldwin has expressed similar sentiment on Twitter.
"What the f&@% is wrong w u that u think we all need to b commenting on this family's personal struggle?" he told one fan. "You are mistaken if you think there is a place for me, or any outsider, in this family's issue."
Since when does Hollywood care about allegations? Heck, many of them don’t even care about all-out convictions; stars such as Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, and Kim Cattrall have had no problem working with court-certified sex abuser Roman Polanski. I can't even count how many musicians have lined up to work with Chris Brown since he admitted to assaulting Rihanna
