Dylan Farrow sat down with CBS This Morning to detail her courageous story about coming out with molestation charges against her father, Woody Allen.

“I loved my father. I respected him. He was my hero. And that doesn’t obviously take away from what he did,” she said. “But it does make the betrayal and the hurt that much more intense.”

This marks her first TV interview on the matter. Now 32, she made her first allegations against Woody in 1993.

“I was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother’s country house in Connecticut by my father. He instructed me to lay down on my stomach and play with my brother’s toy train that was set up,” she explained. “And he sat behind me in the doorway, and as I played with the toy train, I was sexually assaulted. As a 7-year-old I would have said, ‘He touched my private parts.’ As a 32-year-old, he touched my labia and my vulva with his fingers.”

She also accused Woody of following her around, adding, “He was always touching me and cuddling me. If I said I wanted to go off by myself, he wouldn’t let me … He would ask me to get into bed with him when he only had his underwear on or when I only had my underwear on. He wasn’t like this with [brother and Mia and Allen’s biological son] Ronan.”

For several years, skeptics of Dylan had thought she fabricated the story — or that her mom Mia Farrow had coached her into telling the story. “What I don’t understand is how is this crazy story about me being brainwashed and coached is more believable than me being sexually assaulted by my father,” she replied. “Every step of the way, my mother has told me to tell the truth. She has never coached me.”

When shown footage of Woody denying the claims, she burst into tears: “I’m really sorry,” she said between sobs. “I thought I could handle it … He’s lying, and he’s been lying for so long and it is difficult for me to see him and to hear his voice. I’m sorry.”
