45. Weren't you seven years old yourself? I have very clear memories at that age.

This isn't about recovered memories. Dylan has been saying the same things, to therapists and others, since she was 7 years old. What she said at 7 is why Allen lost his custody suit. The judge believed her.

I can't understand why EVERYONE doesn't believe her now. And it's not just Dylan. Ronan was a witness to some of this, too.

When I referred to violation of trust, I was referring to Allen's violating Soon-yi's trust. He was a father figure in her life, and took advantage of that.

I don't believe Soon-yi, who is still married to Allen. She's protecting her husband. Mia found the nude photos of Soon Yi in Jan. 1992, seven months after Soon-yi had graduated from high school. Ever since then, Soon Yi and Allen say their sexual relationship only began a month earlier. What a crock. They couldn't deny it once those photos came out, so they said it had just started.

Allen v. Farrow features testimony from individuals who claim the sexual relationship started when Soon-Yi was still in high school. On Aug. 17, 1992 Allen publically proclaimed his love for Soon-Yi amidst allegations that he had sexually molested Dylan on Aug. 4.
