File: Allen rejects 'untrue and disgraceful' sex abuse claims Legendary film director Woody Allen hit back Sunday at allegations by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow of sexual abuse during her youth, calling them "untrue and disgraceful." In a statement, Allen's New York publicist emphasized the filmmaker had never faced criminal charges over the claims and that experts at an earlier hearing had found there was no evidence of molestation.
