snip* Wilk criticized YaleNew Havens findings, stating that the hospitals team declined to testify at trial except via deposition by team leader John Leventhal and destroyed its notes on the case; a 1997 Connecticut Magazine piece pointed out that Leventhal had never interviewed Dylan.* In her first piece for Vanity Fair about the Allen case, published in 1992, Orth had at least 25 on-the-record interviewswith sources both named and unnamedattesting that Allen was completely obsessed with Dylan: He could not seem to keep his hands off her, Orth wrote.
In his June 1993 ruling, Wilk also denied Allen any visitation rights with Dylan or his older adopted child with Farrow, 15-year-old Moses. In May 1994, in a hearing considering custody or increased visitation for Allen, the Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court cited a clear consensus among psychiatric experts involved in the case that Allens interest in Dylan was abnormally intense.
