Woody Allen is denying his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow’s allegations that he sexually assaulted her, in a statement he released on Sunday.
Dylan Farrow’s letter recounting her experiences was published by the New York Times on Saturday, in which she said that Allen sexually assaulted her when she was seven years old.
According to Cnn.com, a representative of Allen’s, Leslee Dart, said “Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful. He will be responding very soon.”
He went on to say that there is no evidence that proves the claims of molestation, adding in that Dylan Farrow had “an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.”
She claims that she was led into an attic by her father in 1992, and that was where the assault took place, reports Foxnews.com. No details were given about Allen’s specific actions.
The case was under investigation, but Allen was never charged for child molestation.
CNN also reported that Sony Picture Classics, a distributor of Allen’s films, said in a statement, “Mr. Allen has never been charged in relationship to any of this, and therefore deserves our presumption of innocence.”
