ANATOMY OF AN ALLEGATION OF ABUSE. ANNOTATED CHRONOLOGY OF DAYS 4, 5 AND 6 AUGUST 1992 WHEN THE ALLEGATION OF ABUSE AGAINST WOODY ALLEN EMERGED





PREVIOUS.-

Since March 1991 Dylan Farrow had two weekly therapy sessions with Dr. Nancy Schutz.
From January 13, 1992, as a result of the break that occurred when discovering that Woody Allen had started a relationship with Soon Yi, Mia Farrow only allowed supervised visits of Woody Allen with children[i]. She gave precise instructions so that the nannies would never leave Dylan or Satchel alone with Woody Allen [ii]. On August 4th, two nannies were left, Kristi Groteke and Sophie Berge, with express instructions not to leave any of the two children alone with Allen.

On August 1, after thinking for months that the relationship between Woody Allen and Soon Yi had ended in January of 1992, Mia Farrow learned that the relationship continued, apparently because they told her. After finding out, Mia Farrow telephoned Dr. Coates, whom she asked for help to "find a way to stop him"[iii]
August 4th was the first time that Woody Allen had seen children since Mia Farrow had learned that his relationship with Soon Yi continued and, as far as we know, it is also the first time that Mia Farrow and her friend Casey Pascal was seen from August 1 and the conversation about how to stop Woody Allen with Dr. Coates.
On August 4, at the home of Mia Farrow, in addition to Moses of 14 years, two children, each in the care of a nanny. Kristi Groteke had the direct and express charge of taking care of Dylan.

CHRONOLOGY BETWEEN THE 1ST AND THE 4TH OF AUGUST.-

Between day 1 and day 4 of August different events take place that we can not date with precision, but that configure the real situation of day 4.

-        - Immediately before August 4, Mia Farrow began recording her telephone conversations with Woody Allen. As far as we know from the court statement, no exact date is indicated, but the expression "immediately before and after" identifies a moment between day 1 and 4 without a doubt. [iv]
-        - In those same days Mia Farrow contacts and hires the lawyer Eleanor Alter, [v] specialist in judicial divorces. Eleanor Alter was one of the most recognized and most expensive divorce lawyers in the country ($ 400 per hour)[vi] . Considering that day 1 was Saturday and day 2 Sunday, it seems reasonable to think that Mia Farrow contacted her on day 3 ... Or even 4?
-        - Specification of the custody agreement between the lawyers of Mia Farrow and those of Woody Allen. Although we do not know if the agreement negotiations were closed immediately before day 1 or just after, we know that on day 4 Mia Farrow's lawyers were working on the final draft to send it to the lawyers of Woody Allen. At least on day 3, Mia Farrow's lawyers were convinced that an agreement had been reached. Eleanor Alter was not part of Mia Farrow's legal team.[vii]

DAY 4 AUGUST.

On August 4, sometime in the morning, Casey Pascal arrives with her children and her nanny, Alison. Casey Pascal is a friend of Mia Farrow since the days of Marymount School, "a private boarding school in Kingston, England, and have been close ever since" according to Kristi Groteke "Casey was the single person she was completely trusted, the single friend who was there for her all the time”[viii] . It's the first time that friends have seen each other since Mia Farrow has confirmed that Woody Allen continues her relationship with Soon Yi and they will spend all day together.
At some point on August 4 Mia Farrow calls her lawyer Martin Weltz and tells him to stop the referral to Woody Allen's lawyers from the text of the agreement. Mia Farrow says she has "disturbing news", but does not say what it is.[ix] Considering that since she returned with Casey Pascal to the house she was with Woody Allen, it seems reasonable to think that she made the call while she was with her friend. In any case, as far as we know, Mia Farrow does not inform Woody Allen that she has paralyzed the signing of the agreement.
At the time Woody Allen arrives at the house there are three nannies, Kristi Groteke, Sophie Berge and Alison Stickland, with express instructions not to leave Dylan or Satchel alone with Woody Allen at any time.
According to Mia Farrow, when she leaves the house, Moses Farrow is walking around alone. Moses notes that he was already in the house when Woody Allen arrived.[x]
According to Mia Farrow's memoirs, Woody Allen was in the house "a couple of hours”[xi] before she and Casey Pascal returned. Therefore, everything that will be told next took place in a space of between two and three hours.
The children began to see in the TV Room the movie "Who framed Roger Rabbit”. [xii] While they were watching the movie, Woody Allen arrived to make his weekly visit and went to the TV Room. The TV Room was described by Kristi Groteke in her book as a "Tiny TV Room"”[xiii], and in it they were when Woody Allen arrived at the three children of Casey Pascal John (9 years old), and her adopted twins, Emma and Kate, (6 years old), Moses (14 years old), Sarchel (4 years old) and Dylan. That is, there were six children between 4 and 14 years old in that small room.
While watching the movie, the three nannies were in the kitchen having tea.
It was while they were all together watching the movie on the TV Room that Alison went to the TV Room to look for one of the children of Casey Pascal. She leaned out just a moment and later would say she saw Woody Allen with his head resting on Dylan's lap. Whatever she saw, at that time she was not worried enough to intervene, nor to decide to stay in the TV Room with the children, nor to mention it to the nannies of Mia Farrow. Whatever she explained to the judge she had seen, Wilk makes no mention that what the nanny witnessed could be any kind of abusive or improper conduct.
According to the allegation of abuse, at some point after the film Sophie Berge and Alison went out into the garden (the large lot with a small lake in Mia Farrow's house) along with the three children of Casey Pascal and Satchel. None of those who went out to the garden realized that Allen and Dylan had disappeared.
Kristi Groteke stayed inside the house, she says she looked for Allen and Dylan and when she did not find them she assumed they would be out with the other nannies, but she did not check it. ("After looking for them in the house, she assumed that they were outside with the others", says the ruling of Wilk)
In her memoirs Kristi Groteke expressly states that from her point of view on day 4 everything was normal [xiv], with the exception that we will see later.
No one has explained how three babysitters with express instructions to take care of Dylan and watch Allen did not realize that Allen and Dylan had disappeared. In fact, it is incomprehensible that they did not realize that only Dylan had disappeared. And if she was drowning in the lake or had fallen and hurt herself in some corner of the house? Apparently, losing sight of the girl did not bother anyone.
It is also not easy to explain how it could happen. When the movie was over and everyone else went out, how is it possible that no one noticed that Woody Allen and Dylan were not there? We are not just talking about nannies. Did not any of the children say anything? In addition to Moses, who was 14 years old and has related the events of that day saying that nothing happened, there was a 9-year-old boy and two other 6-year-old children. In any case, the same day 4 nobody noticed that Dylan and Woody Allen had disappeared -not together or apart- for a while and only "retracing their steps" days later the nannies came to the conclusion that they had not seen to Woody Allen and Dylan for a period of 15 or 20 minutes[xv] (or maybe only 10 minutes, as Kristi Groteke also says in her book [xvi])

Moses' account of events, published on his own blog, can be summarized by saying that at the age of 14 and in the absence of his mother he felt the "man of the house" that day and was watching Woody Allen and taking care of Dylan throughout moment. That nothing happened.
Later, when Mia Farrow and Casey Pascal arrived at the house, Sophie Berge or Mia Farrow realized that Dylan was not wearing underwear. Mia asked Sophie to put it on without giving any importance to the issue. Kristi Groteke herself explains in her book that it was not something extraordinary or worrisome. When Dylan was asked about the underwear, she replied that he had taken it off because she had wet it without giving further explanations.[xvii] Although throughout the next day she would be asked expressly if her father had taken it off, she denied it. This is the only strange fact in relation to day 4 that Ktisti Groteke points out and she explains that it had multiple explanations. That's why at the moment it did not attract attention or worry to anyone.
On the way back home by car, Alison Stiklan tells Casey Pascal what she has seen on the TV Room. Whatever the content of the conversation was, Casey does not consider it necessary to phone Mia Farrow that day, although Woody Allen was going to spend the night at the house.

DAY 5 AUGUST.

Casey Pascal telephones Mia Farrow and tells her what Alison has said to her the day before. Mia asks Dyla and the girl, according to Judge Wilk's ruling
Ms.  Farrow  testified  that  after  she  hung  up  the telephone,  she  asked  Dylan,  who  was  sitting  next  to  her, "whether  it  was  true  that  daddy  had  his  face  in  her  lap yesterday."  Ms. Farrow testified:
Dylan  said  yes.  And  then  she  said  that  she didn't  like  it  one bit, no, he was  breathing into her,  into her  legs,  she said.  And  that he  was  holding  her  around  the  waist  and  I said, why  didn't  you  get up  and she  said  she tried to but that he put his hands underneath her and touched her.  And  she showed me where . . .  ".  Her behind.

According to Mia Farrow's memoirs, the first statement was more extensive and already included the fundamental details of the allegation. According to Mia Farrow's memoirs, the first statement was more extensive and already included the fundamental details of the allegation. It also expressly stated that Woody Allen would have played Dylan's private parts on the TV Room

She told me he was holding her around the waist and that when she tried  to  get  up  he  “secretly  put  one  hand  here”— she  pointed—  “and  touched my privates,  and I  do  not like that one  bit.”She told me that Woody had taken her upstairs  into  the attic, and  that he  had  touched her private  parts  with  his  finger.  “Don’t move,” he had said to  her.  “I  have  to  do  this.  If you stay still,  we can go  to  Paris.  Don’t tell.”“He  was  kissing  me,”  Dylan  said.  “I  got  soaked  all  over  the whole body  . . .   I had to do what he said. I’m a kid, I have to do whatever the grown-ups say  . . .   It hurt,  it hurt when he pushed his finger in  . . .   he said the only way for me to be in the movie is to do this. I don’t want to be in his movie. Do I have to be in his movie?  He just kept poking it  in  .  .  .”[xviii]

Another difference between the two narrations is in the question that gives rise to Dylan's first claim. Mia Farrow asks the girl why she did not get up when her father had put his head in his lap. A question that, considering the circumstances, could be understood by the girl as that she had done something wrong
It is not entirely clear when Mia Farrow began videotaping Dylan's questioning, not even if she did it before or after the first visit to the pediatrician.
In any case, all the narratives agree that after the first allegations of Dylan Mia Farrow immediately called her lawyer Eleanor Alter. As we have said, Eleanor Alter was not part of Mia Farrow's legal team[xix] and had been hired in the days before this call, but the reason has never been explained. Eleanor Alter was part of the elite divorce lawyers in New York and it is hard to think of someone more qualified to give the best legal advice to the issue that was planted. Eleanor Alter recommends Mia Farrow to take Dylan immediately to the pediatrician.

Although it is an exercise in speculation, it is reasonable to assume that Eleanor Alter gave Mia Farrow an adequate response to the query that was put to her. Going to the local pediatrician to record and submit the complaint to the police is appropriate response when the complaint is "when I was going to get up from the couch my father has restrained me and touched my parts", but it is not at all when the complaint is "my father took me to the attic and there he kissed me and put a finger in my vagina (which is rape) and he hurt me". We are not talking about an inexperienced lawyer who may be thought to act without knowing the cause. The reasonable thing is to conclude that the first statement of Dylan and the one that motivated the call of Mia Farrow to Eleanor Alter did not include any mention to the supposed facts of the attic. That story would emerge later on, during the next 24 hours during which Mia Farrow would interrogate the girl.
It is also difficult to believe that, faced with an allegation of the seriousness of the rape, Eleanor Alter allowed Mia Farrow to interrogate the girl on her own with a video camera; I would certainly have recommended her to go immediately to a specialist or directly to the police. Do not forget that the problems caused by this decision to any investigation was highlighted by the expert contracted by Mia Farrow

Dr. Herman  noted that it was "unfortunate"  that Mia, and not an objective  and trained  evaluator, videotaped Dylan's testimony, mainly because the way she focused on specific things could possibly "set a tone for a child about how to answer.  I think it could raise anxieties of a child." In short, he said,  "I don't think it helps matters, I think it complicates  matters."[xx]

As Judge Wilk himself pointed out

Her decision to videotape  Dylan's statements, although  inadvertently compromising the sexual  abuse  investigation,  was understandable.

We are in 1992. The great scandal provoked by the interrogations of the McMartin case is known throughout the country. It is impossible that Eleanor Alter was not perfectly aware of the problems that the recording of Mia Farrow (an interview by a non-specialist) could provoke. It is impossible for her to treat a rape allegation in that way.

Mia Farrow goes to the pediatrician. Before the pediatrician talks to Dylan, Mia Farrow explains what happened so far. This is how Kristy Groteke narrates it [xxi]

 At this news, Mia immediately  contacted Eleanor Alter, who calmly  advised  her to take the child to her local pediatrician, Dr.Kavirajan. Mia did so. First, she spoke to the doctor  privately, describing  to him what Dylan had told her had occurred  the previous  day. Then Dr. Kavirajan  took Dylan into his office alone.  Here, he asked the child to tell him what had happened.
Dylan hesitated,  then said merely that Woody had touched her."Where?" asked Dr. Kavirajan."On the shoulder,"  Dylan managed to say, then immetately, nervously,  asked to leave the room to rejoin her mother.In the car on the way home, Mia asked Dylan gently butffrmly,  "What is the truth? What you told me? Or what you told Dr. Kavirajan?"  And Dylan replied, "What I told you." Then she hesitated and added, "But I don't like to talk about my privates."
The moment she got home, Mia called Dr. Kavirajan  and told this to him. He noted that Dylan's reaction was a common one in children  who had been molested,  and that Mia should bring her back in the next day.

As can be seen, Dylan's interaction with the pediatrician is consistent with a narrative according to which his father touched her when she was going to get up from the chair, but absolutely out of place if we assume that his father has taken her to a secluded attick and He has sexually abused her there.
Everything indicates that the original story of Dylan was limited to saying that when she had wanted to get up his father had grabbed her and that by holding her he had touched her private parts.

Upon leaving Dr. Kavirajan's office, Mia Farrow asks Dylan if the truth is what she has told the doctor or what he has said to her, and Dylan replies that what he has said to her, but she does not  like to talk about her private parts with strangers.

For the next 24 hours, Mia Farrow recorded a 15-minute tape. A compilation of 11 or 13 episodes (varies according to the sources) in which Dylan would narrate her that her father took her to the attic and there inserted a finger in her vagina. Richard Marcus, the head of the Police Department's Manhattan Sex Crimes Unit from 1983 to 1988 and who testified at the trial as Woody Allen's expert identified several directing questions

A (referring to a transcript of the video): Page 3, Line 13: It starts off OK, but before the child can respond . . . Mia Farrow asks, `How did he touch you? With what?'
Q: Continue with the basis for your opinion.
A: Page 8, Lines 7 and 8: Mia Farrow asks, `And what did he do? Did he take your underpants off?' Here on Page 8, again 17 and 18: . . . `And after he was touching you, he said,' - to me that smacks of prompting, trying to remind the child of what she said previously . . . Page 10, Lines 23, 24, 25: `So when you went into the attic . . . you just forgot it, you just didn't have any on, is that it?'
Q: What is the significance of that?
A: Of course, it's leading. It's trying to remind the child of something she may have missed saying earlier, as if you were refreshing her recollection. On Page 18, Lines 17 and 18: `And it still hurts you?' Again, that's a leading question and in a way reinforcing the child's prior comments.
Q: Directing your attention to Page 14, Line 20: Is that another example of a leading question?
A: I'm sorry. Yes. `Did he stick his whole finger in?'
Marcus also said the videotaped statement wasn't spontaneous and contained any inconsistencies about what occurred, how, and even what part of Dylan's body was involved.[xxii]



DAY AUGUST 6
           
            When Mia Farrow is on her way to the pediatrician's office she receives a call from Kristi Groteke. Mia is very calm and, apparently, has a phone in the vehicle or a mobile phone (which would also have facilitated the phone calls of day 4)

I  can't really  talk right now," Mia said when I phoned  her from Boston  on Thursday,  August 6, 1992, "but I  have to tell you that Woody molested  Dylan." I had been upin Beantown visiting Mark Page, the lead guitarist in my old college band (I played the guitar and was the band's  vocalist), and I  had had a weird, nagging, ESP type of feeling that something was amiss back at Frog Hollow. But I never  expected this.
"What???"  I screamed  into the receiver,  then when her word sank in, I  added, "Oh, God." There was a long silence  before Mia picked up the conversation.  In a quiet voice she told me that she was on her way to her doctor's office to have Dylan examined, but that I  should  call her later.[xxiii]

We already said that for Kristi Groteke on day 4 it was totally normal, now we also know that she would never have expected an allegation of this kind to arise, which can only be interpreted as that, not only did she not see anything on day 4 that made her think that something inappropriate might have happened, but in the year she had been working as Dylan's nanny, she had not noticed anything that made her think that Woody Allen could sexually abuse her.

Before entering the pediatrician's office Mia Farrow says to Dylan "We wanted to help Daddy, he forgot to act like a daddy."[xxiv]

In Dr. Karavijan's practice Dylan repeats the story that she had told her mother. It is not clear if what Dylan tells the pediatrician is simply that her father has touched her in her private parts or if she makes a narrative that includes the allegation of abuse in the attic. The first physical examination of the girl was done on the 9th, so on day 6 none was performed. The pediatrician also did not examine Dylan for the allegation of pain in the vagina that apparently appears in the recording according to the testimony of Mia Farrow.

When she gets home, Mia Farrow says to nanny Monica Thompson: Everything is Ok now. Everything is set. Mia Farrow seemed "very happy and excited for herself” [xxv]

Already at home, Mia Farrow receives a phone call from the pediatrician, who tells her that he has discussed the situation with his lawyer and must report to the authorities.[xxvi] It is striking that pediatricians might have some doubt about their obligation to report to the authorities if Dylan's narrative included the allegation of having been removed from the other children, taken to a attic and raped. It seems that it can not be ruled out that Dylan would simply say that Woody Allen had touched her private parts since no pediatrician would consult his lawyer about the obligation to report a rape.

After receiving the phone call from Dr. Karavijan, Mia Farrow called Dr. Coates. Although there are some widespread versions of the events that place this call on day 5, everything indicates that it was made on the 6th. First, because it was picked up by Mia Farrow in her memoirs and it is not an isolated event , but linking the conversation with the one she had previously had with Dr. Karavijan: in the content of that conversation Mia Farrow points out that she told Dr. Coates that Dr. Karavijan was going to inform the Connecticut authorities and that Dr. Coates pointed out that, in such case, she would give notice to the New York authorities, therefore the conversation should have taken place on the 6th after the second visit to Dr. Karavijan and after his phone call.[xxvii]. In addition, this chronology is compatible with Wilk's ruling and the court ruling clearly indicates that Dr. Coates immediately notified the facts to Woody Allen before notifying the authorities and we know that communication with Woody Allen occurred on the 6th. The expression "immediately" indicates beyond Any reasonable doubt that if Dr. Coates communicated the facts to Woody Allen on the 6th, it can only be because he received the call from Mia Farrow on the 6th.[xxviii]

At some point of the day, Moses Farrow approaches Monica Thompson and tells her that his mother is making up the allegations against his father.

Thompson added that on one occasion almost immediately after the alleged incident, Moses, 14, another child Allen and Farrow adopted, indicated doubts about what, if anything, had taken place.
"Moses came over to me and said that he believes that Ms. Farrow had made up the accusation that was being said by Dylan," Thompson said in an affidavit.[xxix]

It can not be forgotten that at that time Moses was a fierce and loyal supporter of his mother, who would publicly support her in a strict manner every time he had the chance, however even then privately and the nanny she had known for seven years. (the time that Monica Thompson had been taking care of the children of Mia Farrow) expressed clearly that nothing that was being said that had happened just two days before was not true. The two statements of Moses, one made privately 26 years ago and the one made publicly on his blog in 2018 are fully consistent. In fact, the declaration of 2,018 allows us to understand why the child who was a fierce and loyal supporter of Mia Farrow was convinced that nothing had happened two days before.

The same day 6 (or perhaps the 7th day, there is no total agreement on the date) Kristi Groteke picked up Monica Thompson from Mia Farrow's house and took her to the station. Monica took her vacation and would be away for several days. At that time the two spoke briefly of the events, and although their versions diverge in significant detail, both indicate that they spoke of the allegation of abuse and that Kristi told Monica that she had not lost sight of Dylan nor five minutes a day. 4
The version of Monica Thompson

Thompson said that the next day Kristie Groteke, Dylan's baby-sitter, drove her to the bus, and her fellow employee was "very upset."
"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."[xxx]

The version of Kristi Groteke
The next afternoon,  when I had completed  the three-hour drive from Boston to Bridgewater,  I  headed over to Mia's to pick up Monica Thompson,  who also helped with the children.
I  used to drive her to the bus station from Frog Hollow.  On this day Monica, a large black woman of about forty, was going home to  Jamaica for her vacation and not planning  to return until September.  So I beeped the horn, and she came  out, lugging her bag. A grim look on her face, she slid into the seat beside  me.
I didn't say anything  at first, but as soon as we pulled  out of the driveway,  I  asked her, "Monica, what happened? What's  going on?"
She shrugged  and said,  "I don't think anything happened. I think Mia is exaggerating. She's tDnng to make you feel bad for not staying with Dylan the entire day."
The alleged  molestation, Monica said, had occurred two days earlier,  on Tuesday,  August 4, L992. However,  Monica  knew only the sketchiest details of what had supposedly transpired.  Although  she had been working  for Mia for seven years, they weren't  close at all, and so I played  dumb  and agreed with her.
Yes,  I  said, Mia must have been stretching the truth. And no, I didn't remember  leaving Dylan alone with Woody.  Then,  without asking----or  answering-any more questions, I drove back to Frog Hollow,  my foot on the gas pedal the whole trip. My conversation with Monica would one day come back to haunt me.[xxxi]

Woody and  I  had  already  agreed  to  a legal  settlement, scheduled to be signed on August 6, defining our rights and responsibilities with regard to the children. Most important,  it ensured that his contact with the children would be supervised. And it did not entitle him to spend the night at our home. I was eager for that  date  to  arrive  because,  despite  the  obvious  distress  his  visits were  causing to  my family and my repeated  requests  that he  sleep elsewhere, he insisted on staying at Frog Hollow. Just then I didn’t press  the point further because  I  feared he  would try to have  that privilege  written  into  the  settlement  contract.

On august 4, just hours before the document was to be delivered to Allen and Farrow for signing, says Weltz, Farrow called him and said she had some disturbing news. Later, she would allege that Allen had molested Dylan in the attic of her Connecticut home during his visit that day.

As the “man of the house” that day, I had promised to keep an eye out for any trouble, and I was doing just that. I remember where Woody sat in the TV room, and I can picture where Dylan and Satchel were. Not that everybody stayed glued to the same spot, but I deliberately made sure to note everyone’s coming and going. I do remember that Woody would leave the room on occasion, but never with Dylan. He would wander into another room to make a phone call, read the paper, use the bathroom, or step outside to get some air and walk around the large pond on the property.
