In reply to the discussion: Allen Responds to Farrow's Abuse Claims in Letter [View all]pacalo
(24,857 posts)80. "There are a lot of other ways to molest a young girl..."
According to Mia Farrow's 1993 testimony, that would include touching a young girl's shoulders:
The videotape and the medical exams werent the only problems Mia faced in bringing abuse charges against her former lover. There were problems with inconsistencies in her daughters off-camera narrative as well. A New York Times article dated March 26, 1993, quotes from Mias own testimony, during which she recalled taking the child to a doctor on the same day as the alleged incident. Farrow recalled, I think (Dylan) said (Allen) touched her, but when asked where, she just looked around and went like this, at which point Mia patted her shoulders. Farrow recalls she took Dylan to another doctor, four days later. On the stand, Allens attorney asked Mia about the second doctors findings: There was no evidence of injury to the anal or vaginal area, is that correct? Farrow answered, Yes.
