There was smoke nearly 40 years ago — Woody Allen didn’t explicitly say he was a pedophile ...but he sure came close ... openly describing a hypothetical orgy involving him and fifteen 12-year-old girls.
TMZ dug up the 1976 interview published in People. Then 41-year-old Woody said, “I’m open-minded about sex. I’m not above reproach; if anything, I’m below reproach. I mean, if I was caught in a love nest with fifteen 12-year-old girls tomorrow, people would think, yeah, I always knew that about him.”
He added, “Nothing I could come up with would surprise anyone ... I admit to it all.”

And brazen.
Reminded of a book I once read by Frank Perretti -- can't recall the title but the woman at the bookstore said it was "his third-best novel." In it, evil is brazen and even obnoxious about its intentions. I think he was on to something. It always seems to out itself.
