A panel of psychiatrists sided with Allen, a judge more with Dylan and her mother. A Connecticut prosecutor said that there was enough evidence for a criminal case against Allen but that he was dropping criminal proceedings to spare Dylan.

Allen Loses to Farrow in Bitter Custody Battle
By PETER MARKS

Describing Woody Allen as a "self-absorbed, untrustworthy and insensitive" father, a judge in Manhattan yesterday rejected his attempt to win custody of his three children and awarded custody to their mother, Mia Farrow.

In a scathing 33-page decision, Acting Justice Elliott Wilk of State Supreme Court denounced Mr. Allen for carrying on an affair with one of Ms. Farrow's daughters, trying to pit family members against one another and lacking knowledge of the most basic aspects of his children's lives.

The judge also denied Mr. Allen immediate visiting rights with his 7-year-old daughter, Dylan Farrow. Last summer Ms. Farrow accused the 57-year-old film maker of molesting the child. Justice Wilk said it was unlikely that Mr. Allen could be prosecuted for sexual abuse based on the evidence. But while a team of experts concluded that Dylan was not abused, the judge said he found the evidence inconclusive.

Panel Criticizes Prosecutor In Inquiry on Woody Allen
By RICHARD PEREZ-PENA
Published: February 24, 1994

A Connecticut prosecutor's handling of a child-molestation complaint against Woody Allen was cause for "grave concern" and may have prejudiced the legal battle between Mr. Allen and Mia Farrow, a disciplinary panel has found.

But while its decision, dated Feb. 3, amounted to a stern rebuke of the prosecutor, Frank S. Maco, the state Grievance Panel concluded that Mr. Maco, the State's Attorney for Litchfield County, had not violated any provision of the state's code of conduct for lawyers. The panel, a state agency, could have voted sanctions ranging from censure to disbarment.

Last Sept. 24, Mr. Maco said at a news conference that there was "probable cause" to charge Mr. Allen with molesting Dylan O. Farrow, his and Ms. Farrow's daughter, in 1992, when she was 7. But he said he would not charge the film maker, in part because a prosecution could be traumatic for the child. Copy Sent to Judge

To any who can't understand why rapes and sexual assaults often go unreported, read this thread! Squinch Feb 2014 #194

There's a good amount of evidence suggesting these were implanted memories. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #209

The prosecutor said he had sufficient cause to charge him, but decided not to bring the Squinch Feb 2014 #216

No, actually he never said that. He said he had probable cause. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #225

The child was interviewed multiple times. By whom, I'm not sure. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #243

She was interviewed nine times, in person Nevernose Feb 2014 #261

False memories are not a delusion and she isn't a liar. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #284

But you assume false memory rather than experience, and say that Squinch Feb 2014 #291

Yes, I believe based on the totally anecdotal evidence that it is more likely false memory. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #294

She is talking about her experience, not something she read. Squinch Feb 2014 #296

No, you're wrong. This is not the same as all other cases of shaming victims. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #302

And what you simply don't understand is that YOUR conclusion, however you have come to it, Squinch Feb 2014 #372

And I am horrifyingly sure that this is the attitude that sex assault victims come up Squinch Feb 2014 #288

More than a bit deceptive on your part. She was a small child... Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #283

And when I say she has a right to be heard, you say that I am being deceptive. Squinch Feb 2014 #286

Wrong. Totally wrong. Don't try and shame me for something I didn't say. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #289

"I will not put up with such garbage" is a ridiculous thing to say. What does that even mean? Squinch Feb 2014 #292

It means I'm not going to let you lecture me on the gross underreporting of sexual assault. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #299

It is not for you to "let" or "not let" anyone here do anything. You are not in a position to Squinch Feb 2014 #374
