this was not woody allen's group.oup, law enforcement people relied on what the yale new haven committee was doing. >> of course i will just note for the record the new york custody judge said he wasn't convinced that the evidence completely exonerated him. not everybody supported the results of that study. >> the custody decisions were based on different factors which had a lot to do with the family dynamic that had nothing to do with the molestation. that's a whole separate issue. we obviously disagreed with the judge. we felt that because mia farrow had it was determined coached dylan, she was awn fn unfit mot. that's why we tried to get custody. he disagreed with that. >> we have a clinical psychologist on the show. i asked him about what he thought was important to talk about. he quotes behavior like this doesn't happen in an is vacuum. it's not inconceivable a person who would merit daughter of his girlfriend could also be called into questions of possibly violating other family boundaries in that same family."

allen's attorney puts the blames of allegations on mia not on woody allen or dylan. representing allen, how would you advise him? >> i think he is doing what he has to do as the lawyer in the case. i'll tell you why carol. the reason you have statutes of limitations because you want to investigate the cases when charges are first made. these were made against woody allen as i understand for the first time in 1992. they were investigated by connecticut law enforcement officials for whatever reason, and i assume they took a good look at evidence decided it could not be prosecuted. might be no merit to the charge or no evidence. now it's many years later. to put somebody in the position to defend themselves. while it sounds like his lawyer is is blaming the victim, on the other hand if you're subject to a false allegation, that's extremely damaging to your reputation. so i can understand why you'd try to fight back. >> the other interesting thing his attorney said, in my view, dylan is not lying. she truly believes this happened. when you implant the story in a fragile 7

another -- missed the woody allen tribute. did they include the part where he molested a 7-year-old before or after annie hall? the couple separated after 12 years when mia farrow discovered that allen was having an affair with her adopted daughter who is now allen's wife, the same year dylan told her mother that allen had touched her inappropriately. allen denied the charges and according to the "new york times," a team of medical investigators found no evidence of abuse. allen was never charged but the allegationed have tainted his image for two decades. but dylan finally breaking her silence and admonishing some of hollywood's most celebrated, by name, for, in her words, turning a blind eye by continuing to work with allen. that he got away with what he did to me. it haunted me as i grew up. i was stricken with guilt that i had had allowed him to be near other little girls. >> cnn did reach out to woody allen's representative for comment. we have not heard back yet. we've also reached out, we should say, to some of the star

move on to the woody allen, mia farrow dylan farrow saga very poisonous on all sides. to see the family split like this and all the fallout that's going to happen. we saw today that moses who is dylan farrow's older brother has come out on the side of woody allen. that has caused great upset to dylan that says he's now dead to her, her own brother and so on. what do you make of this, ben ferguson? >> well, i think there's two things. one, i hate it when i see someone act as if a grown woman who's claiming abuse is somehow still in a child's mind and still being held like a little child under a mother's influence. and that was the part that irked me the most. this is a grown woman. and i don't think that she is a child. i don't think she's being influenced by a mom like she's four years old. the second issue is this. there was an investigation and there were people that thought something inappropriate happened, they just didn't have enough evidence to prove it. and the last thing is, he did marry a stepchild, so there was an awkward, inappropriate relationship that he's

out now some 21 years after the alleged abuse. >> reporter: in his letter to the "new york times" woody alleng the abuse charges, claiming his former lover mia farrow was behind their daughter's accusations in the midst of the custody battle. allen calls the accusations ludicrous and writes, "i hadn't molested dylan, and any rational person would see the ploy for what it was. commonsense would prevail. after all, i was a 56-year-old man who had never before or after been accused of child molestation." >> each side is arguing in the court of public opinion its strongest arguments. >> reporter: the decades old wounds were reopened recently when allen received a lifetime achievement award at the golden globes. first a tweet from his estranged son, roman, now a host on msnbc. he wrote, "missed the woody allen tribute. did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after annie hall?" then the letter from dylan last week going public. also in the "new york times". with the now 28-year-old saying when she was 7 her father led her into a closet-like attic wr

whatever reason, this -- this part of her life is still haunting her. >> we had a statement from woody allen'said, mr. allen read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful and he will be responding very soon. and it goes on. >> there was an investigation the time, no charges were brought. they did find -- they did think something happened, they just couldn't prove something had happened. >> 7 years old, too fragile to testify at that time. >> and now the statute of limitations -- >> exactly. >> a little bit about philip seymour hoffman. we covered him, but what do we know? >> the autopsy is taking place today at his west village apartment. we don't know a whole lot. we know there were bags of what is suspected to be heroin found in his apartment, eight bags of this substance. we'll find out more after the toxicology reports come out. it is shocking. everyone in hollywood is mourning, grieving, from tom hanks to different co-stars he had in various films and he was a character actor. beloved by all of his followers. and it is still a shock to many. people in the west village were talking

woody allen's lawyer recently appeared on the "today" show to defend his client. >> his reaction is one of overwhelming sadness because of what has happened to dylan. she was a pawn in a huge fight tween him and mia farrow years ago. the idea she was molested was implanted in her by her mother. and that memory is never going to go away. in my view, she's not lying. i think she truly believes this happened. that's what the vice of this is. when you implant a story in a fragile 7-year-old's mind, it stays there forever. it never goes away. >> the new york times is considering whether to publish a direct response piece from woody allen. >>> pope francis has called it the shame of the church but a scathing report by the united nations claims vatican policies have continued to allow clergy members to sexually abuse young children. the u.n. says perpetrators were moved from parish to parish to cover up crimes. the vatican which is being asked to release all of its records about abuse denounced that report. it said the findings were distorted and unfair. but one alleged victim says he feels vi

but just quickly, about the woody allen scandal.fer, not quite this kind of catastrophic fallout, but tensions and stresses within the family. you've got about 90 seconds to put all family ills. >> in woody allen's case, if the allegations are true, he's obviously a very tortured soul. if he wants to begin the healing process, he should admit to what happen, he should apologize to the victims, and he should ask for forgiveness and seek therapy. i believe he was actually beaten up when he was a child, and most people who are abusers have a history of abuse. is that should be looked into. and again, demons exist in everyone, and they surface when there is anonymity and permission to do harm, which is exactly what happened. those shadows will lurk in everyone. >> i always have to say when we talk about this, woody allen was never charged with any crime and he's obviously denied it. deepak, best of luck with the book. >> it's a program. >> it's a six-part online course designed to inspire the 45 plus office, to redefine age, maximize en
