Woody Allen speaks out
NY Times ^ | 2/7/2014 | Woody Allen

Posted on 02/07/2014 6:23:09 PM PST by Borges

I was a 56-year-old man who had never before (or after) been accused of child molestation. I had been going out with Mia for 12 years and never in that time did she ever suggest to me anything resembling misconduct. Now, suddenly, when I had driven up to her house in Connecticut one afternoon to visit the kids for a few hours, when I would be on my raging adversary’s home turf, with half a dozen people present, when I was in the blissful early stages of a happy new relationship with the woman I’d go on to marry — that I would pick this moment in time to embark on a career as a child molester should seem to the most skeptical mind highly unlikely.

Read the 30 page report done at the time. It is full of facts. it condemns Allen for the creepy pedophoile he is.... and he will most definitely burn.

He once wrote a particularly awful article that was published by the New York Times...very anti-Israel.

I appreciate his work, but I can’t ever forget that article.

I do not believe the pedo accusations against him in this matter...he makes good sense in his statement.

It was so full of facts that they chose not to bring charges and people who were there that day also deny it.

I will say the in the case of a father sexually abusing his daughter, almost always there is no evidence until the child talks. By that time any evidence is long gone.

It's not really evidence in the sense of "the jury is there at the crime scene". Children are very susceptible to adult influence, including the influence of crusading adult prosecutors and child psychologists looking to make the headlines, which bring the promise of both fame and fortune. That's not even factoring in the reality that children can be remarkably amoral and downright wicked, which is why they have featured as key players in large scale genocides like the Cambodian Holocaust and the Sierra Leone massacres. Sticking it to an adult via a child abuse accusation is child's play compared to the atrocities mentioned, and eminently plausible.

Who cares what the original “Metrosexual” man thinks? Woody was always a strange little man who gave me the creeps. Now I know why.

“He’s not a pedophile. This whole thing is horse pucky.”

Yeah, if you read the police report he was exonerated. After interviewing everyone associated with the charge and the little girl 7 times the investigators said it was likely the girl was coached to make a false claim. Her story didn’t match features of real abuse cases and had contradictions.

There is evidence that children this age come to believe the fantasy. It is called “implanted memory”.

“Who believes this pervert?”

There was always something a little shady about this allegation. Although if you mean he’s a pervert for taking up with his girlfriend’s daughter, yeah that’s pretty bad.

But molesting the little child, eh, I was sceptical at the start and remain so.

I might add that I think it is pretty bad that a court let Mia & Woody adopt children together when they were not married to each other and did not even live together.

I certainly find the whole situation questionable.

So someone falsely accused of a heinous crime shouldn’t defend himself?

Agree, but I would add that what we already know to be true - 12 years with Mia after which he winds up with her daughter - is reason enough to:

* Not watch any of his movies.
* Publicly scorn him and deprive him of any awards
* Publicly scorn thos who defend him and grant him rewards and recognition.

Well duh.....just the soon yi affair is freakville to decent folk on its own

Forget pedophilia.....which I believe happened

In America today if you are a lib particularly a celeb lib you can do anything short of be accused of saying (nigger) 20 years ago by someone suing you for money

And on rare occasion with enough pressure you might lose your job for saying Sarah Palin literally deserved a shite sandwich....that firing was a rare win for our side

But Mike Tyson mused she should have her vagina ripped by supposedly well endowed Dennis rodman on ESPN radio with zero repercussions

So violent rape OK....shit sandwich...no go....

Man no wonder she didn’t run

Do folks even stop to see how far we’ve collapsed

I could list scores of similar disparity of consequence in our sick homo inflamed culture

I don't know WHAT to believe. p> I know that Mia Farrow is an insane leftist weirdo, but she found naked pics of Soon-Yi, that must have been either taken by WA, or made specifically by an underage girl to entice him.

So Woody is a perv either way.

Woody didn't make a very convincing case in 1976 when he "joked" about being caught with 12 year old girls.

Looking back, it really looks creepy.

Normal 41 year old men don't say things like that.

They may THINK such things, but "joking" about them? No.

I am confused by the fact that yes, Woody IS a weirdo perv, who is clearly into really young girls. E.g. "Manhattan".

But I also must grant that Mia was in a custody battle with him and had no compunction about using his obvious lusts as a cudgel to ruin him and his reputation.

An insane woman scorned is a very dangerous animal indeed.

Honestly I don't like any of the people in this whole sordid saga.
