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.

Seeing as how the prosecutor's own investigation team concluded Dylan had not been sexually abused, it's hard to imagine of what his probable cause case consisted. Any anyone who was not Woody Allen probably wouldn't have been so scrutinized in the first place. The Vanity "Fair" article is actually more notable for the facts they conveniently left out.

Why won't Mia Farrow take a lie detector test? Democat Feb 2014 #21
