Woody Allen has repeated his denial that he molested his adopted daughter, in a letter to the New York Times.

The filmmaker said Dylan Farrow had been coached to make the claim by his estranged former partner, Mia Farrow.

Mr Allen, 78, wrote in the newspaper that Dylan had been "used as a pawn for revenge" against him by her mother.

Dylan Farrow wrote last week in the New York Times that Mr Allen abused her in 1992 when she was seven years old in an attic at Mia Farrow's Connecticut home.

Mr Allen alleges that Mia Farrow orchestrated the "smear" after discovering earlier in the same year that he was having an affair with her other adopted daughter from a previous partner.
