    Burden of proof for a criminal conviction vs. a nonbinding character judgment are not the same.

    Gun to my head I would believe Farrow. But a personal account isn't enough for a criminal conviction.

    Apologies if I'm misreading your inflection; but that reasoning would imply that child molestation charges don't get prosecuted, without adult third-party testimony or convincing evidence. Ten-plus kids in that household, several of them adopted, unfortunately I don't think they'd be that hard to manipulate in a custody case.

    I love most of Allen's films. They're usually really good.

    I have no idea if the accusations are accurate or not. I'm going to wait until something definitive is out there before making a judgment.

    Soon Yi was not his step daughter, she was his apopted daughter, just like this girl Dylan.

    Actually- not even that- from that same D.B. article:

    #3: Soon-Yi was Woody and Mia’s adopted daughter. False. Soon-Yi was the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow and André Previn. Her full name was Soon-Yi Farrow Previn.


    That being said, if it were me, I'd definitely steer clear of having a relationship with someone who has that kind of connection to me. That's his choice, and he did nothing illegal, but it'd just be best to stay away from stuff like that.

    The other alleged incident with his stepdaughter is another matter entirely. Hopefully, he'll come out and say something about this or somehow, through a statute of zero limitations in a matter like this, it will be brought up again. Can't understand for the life of me why this wasn't brought to trial at the time. She wanted to spare the daughter the agony of a trial??? Well, apparently since she's been self-destructive for the past 15+ years over this, maybe that was a bad idea.

    Like Mel Gibson?

    Child molestation is different than drinking and drugs or criminal mischief... I think he will face severe public disdain at the box office.

    Well, considering Nick Nolte is a convicted felon and was also arrested on drunken driving charges, maybe you shouldn't watch Blue Chips ever again or take that off your favorite list. After all, drunken driving can lead directly to vehicular manslaughter, and what's worse than that, right?

    Please, Hollywood thinks Roman Polanski has been the victim of a decades long act of mistreatment because the US Government wants to punish him for anally raping a 13 year old girl.

    Yeah, including Mia Farrow herself:

    What I am sure of, however, is that in 1977, Director Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year-old girl, at the home of Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston. He has admitted to this. It is an absolute fact, no questions about it. Not to mention the fact that, instead of staying in this country and facing a trial for what he did, he jumped on the first plane out of here and has been on the run ever since.

    Mia Farrow, who appeared in Polanski’s 1968 film “Rosemary’s Baby,” has said in as recently as 2005 that she still regards him as a close friend Which, perhaps, is why she flew to London to testify in his behalf in his libel suit against Vanity Fair, which had alleged that Polanski had hit on a Swedish woman right before Sharon Tate’s funeral.

    Make them repeat a story, then accuse of it being rehearsed. Make them repeat a story, then accuse a 7 year old of getting details different.


    She was adopted at 8 years old by Mia and Andre Previn. They divorced in 1979 when she was 9. Woody and Mia moved in together in 1980 when Soon-Yi was 10. Woody and Mia separated in 1992 when she found nude pictures of Soon-Yi and dumped him.

    From 10 to whenever he started banging her, he was her father.

    This is what she looked like the year Mia and Woody moved in together

    This is what she looked like when Mia discovered Woody was banging Soon-Yi and dumped him. 19 years old.

    Did he wait till she was exactly 18? Who knows? To say he wasn't her father is an insult to adopted children everywhere.

    Third post in a row and I don't even GAF. Woody Allen has adopted two kids. How sweet, two daughter coincidentally.

    Soon Yi has been replaced by an obvious pedophile.

    You have a point- but don't be disingenuous and say you don't GAF- of course you do- and you're wrong with some of your facts- but point taken-the whole thing is strange. If he were found guilty, of course it's reprehensible. But you're still falsely accusing someone of being a pedophile. Guilty until proven innocent. Shame on you.

    What fact is wrong? I don't GAF about posting three times in a row because how much I DO GAF about a pedophile.


    Shame on me for posting facts about Woody Allen LOL. The FBI doesn't even know how many children are sexually assaulted. They guess between 1-10% are reported. That is one order of magnitude. It's like telling a restaurant to make a reservation for 6 people but 60 might show up. The reason is kids are brainwashed and scared to report, and when they do get the courage they are torn apart and ridiculed. Get a clue, this is a massive black eye on our society. There are cases of adoptions where the parents doesn't even bother setting up a bedroom for the child. They sleep with the (single) parent from the first night. Starve them to prevent puberty.

    1. OK, first of all they never moved in together:

    Around 1980, Allen began a relationship with actress Mia Farrow, who had leading roles in most of his movies from 1982 to 1992. Farrow and Allen never married and kept separate homes

    2. According to this article, she was 21:

    That year, Farrow found nude pictures of her daughter Soon-Yi Previn in Allen's apartment and discovered Allen, then 56, had been having a sexual relationship with 21-year-old Soon-Yi

    http://www.ibtimes.com/woody-allen-...0-years-after-mia-farrow-scandal-photo-754205

    3. Pedophilia is defined by the APA as having an attraction to kids that are "generally" 11 years of age or younger. Given that, as much as that girl Dylan's letter sounded authentic, he was still never brought up on charges and there's a reasonable doubt considering the many contradictory aspects of the case/situation, to call him an obvious pedophile is incorrect- or at the very least, going by "guilty until proven innocent."

    Again, there's enough there for the whole thing to be extremely strange- and I'm not saying he didn't do it- I'm saying I don't know and neither do you. And I would never think of having a relationship with someone like a Soon Yi even if she didn't live with me and she was older when they started up.

    But you asked where your facts were wrong, so there's that.
