Whatever, a victim CAN accuse her alleged molester. You said it was harsh to accuse him without evidence? WTH should the victim do, say "oh well, there's no evidence, so I guess I can't accuse him." :roll:
He's innocent until proven guilty. Your anger is no fitting basis for a legal system.

The girl says he molested her when she was 7 years old. He MARRIED one of his other adopted daughters. Why is THIS difficult to believe?
 
We're not discussing alleged crimes?

of course, and we are allowed to give our opinions. My opinion is that he is a chester.
 
Woody Allen doesn't fit the profile of a pedo. He doesn't hang around little children. Doesn't talk about children as if they were adults, etc.
 
of course, and we are allowed to give our opinions. My opinion is that he is a chester.
And if your opinion was sufficient, he'd be getting cosy with his shower daddy as we speak.
 
I think he did it. His subsequent marriage to his step-daughter proved out his prediliction to inappropriate actions/feelings. In a case of he-said/she-said, the she-said being a 7-year-old, I've got to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Apparently it wasn't enough to press charges, but I doubt that's that unusual.

My gut instinct is that the girl made it up, based on what I've read about the investigation and the febrile state of the custody proceedings at the time. That's what the medical investigator and judge concluded too. Dylan was inconsistent in her claims and an unreliable source.

Hello? That is what this website is FOR, discussing our opinions.

Totally agree Maggie. Just because there isn't enough evidence (it's a VERY hard crime to prove anyway, and a lot of people get away with this type of crime), doesn't mean he didn't do it, and given his demeanor (being the super weirdo that he is), and his prior relationships with his other "daughters" it doesn't surprise me that he would do this at all. He's a creeper, and as us women know from when we were young girls (and even NOW), that there are PLENTY of these types of men around.
 
That's not in question.

What are you talking about? I've given my opinion that I think he did it. If you don't like my opinion, I don't really care.

Because there's a huge difference between being attracted to a 7-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman. The former is paedophilia, the latter is heterosexuality.

He never adopted Soon-Yi btw.

It's not that I don't care for your opinion, Chris. Only that it's no more than that.
 
She was Mia Farrow and Andre Previn's ADOPTED daughter. Woody Allen was never a father figure to her, and his relationship with Farrow was over when she started dating him . (aged 20)

Why the all-caps for "adopted"? Because if there's no biological tie, having sex with one's step-daughter is okay?

Korean Soon Yi was only ten when her mother began keeping company with Woody Allen. The couple went on to adopt two more children and to have one bio-child of their own. Allen's relationship with Soon Yi, appropriately, would have been paternal.

Dylan Farrow is the daughter adopted by Mia and Woody who has accused him of sexual assault when she was 7. In 1992 this accusation was investigated. From CNN:

"A team of investigators from Yale-New Haven Hospital that was retained by the Connecticut State Police subsequently concluded Dylan had not been abused," according to an account in the Times, which covered the custody proceedings.

Acting Justice Elliott Wilk of State Supreme Court "said it was unlikely that Mr. Allen could be prosecuted for sexual abuse based on the evidence," the newspaper reported. "But while a team of experts concluded that Dylan was not abused, the judge said he found the evidence inconclusive."

Whether Soon-Yi was ADOPTED or not, Allen's relationship with her was inappropriate.
 
I said pedo. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire, like Sandusky and the Penn St. stuff. He's got the Sun Yi stuff, then the second daughter allegations. There is not a long public history of incidents, but he is a smart fellow and he may repress more actions for fear of being caught. But, my guess, pedo.

You ought to pop along to the Amanda Knox threads with that line of argument.

STAY on topic. I know it's hard but I have faith that you can do it.

THIS is not a court room. It is a political debate site where I CAN and WILL give my opinions on subjects. My opinion on this is that Woody Allen is a pedophile.

It's a clear demonstration of his proclivities.

My understanding is that it was Farrow who adopted the children and not Allen. IMO, that says something about his lack of emotional attachment and involvement with the children. I have also seen him say in interviews that pre-date the whole controversy saying that he's not particularly fond of children.

They don't get his jokes
 
I think it is. Ridiculous after spending his entire life in therapy.
 
I have absolutely no idea.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
