<p>Oscar-winning filmmaker Woody Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow has accused her father for sexually abusing her when she was seven, reopening an episode after 21 years.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Farrow, 28, wrote an open letter in the New York Times, accusing Allen of "sexually assaulting" her back in 1993.<br /><br />Allegations of abuse began in 1993, but Allen, 77, has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and has maintained his innocence.<br /><br />"What's your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother's electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me.<br /><br />"He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we'd go to Paris and I'd be a star in his movies. I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains," she wrote in the letter.<br /><br />Allen, 77, and Dylan's mother Mia Farrow, 68, began dating in 1980 and adopted Dylan and her brother Moses in 1987.<br /><br />During a custody battle for the children in 1992, Farrow filed charges of molestation against Allen, but the case was later dropped.<br /><br />"For as long as I could remember, my father had been doing things to me that I didn't like. I didn't like how often he would take me away from my mom, siblings and friends to be alone with him," Farrow continued.<br /><br />"These things happened so often, so routinely, so skillfully hidden from a mother that would have protected me had she known, that I thought it was normal. I thought this was how fathers doted on their daughters. But what he did to me in the attic felt different. I couldn't keep the secret anymore," she added.<br /><br />Allen is again nominated for Academy Awards this year for comedy-drama 'Blue Jasmine'.</p>
