leading questions about the alleged abuse. Numerous pauses occurred when the camera was switched off. If the tape was legitimate, it should have been shot at one go, providing no pauses for re-direction or coaching. I recommend reading this testimony on Allen's behalf which dispels a number of myths, and brings into serious question the accusations against Allen. I thought these 3 passages were particularly relevant:
"...if Mias account is true, it means that in the middle of custody and support negotiations [related to his relationship with Soon-Yi], during which Woody needed to be on his best behavior, in a house belonging to his furious ex-girlfriend, and filled with people seething mad at him, Woody, who is a well-known claustrophobic, decided this would be the ideal time and place to take his daughter into an attic [which was more of a crawl-space than a room] and molest her, quickly, before a house full of children and nannies noticed they were both missing."
"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."
"In the midst of the proceedings, on February 2, 1993, a revealing article appeared in the Los Angeles Times, headlined: Nanny Casts Doubt on Farrow Charges, in which former nanny Monica Thompson (whose salary was paid by Allen, since three of the brood were also his) swore in a deposition to Allens attorneys that she was pressured by Farrow to support the molestation charges, and the pressure led her to resign her position...Thompson further revealed a conversation she had with Kristie Groteke, another nanny. She told me that she felt guilty allowing Ms. Farrow to say those things about Mr. Allen. (Groteke) said the day Mr. Allen spent with the kids, she did not have Dylan out of her sight for longer than five minutes. She did not remember Dylan being without her underwear."
