307. I can't believe I had to read pages of that shit...

Sun Feb 2, 2014, 01:22 AM

Feb 2014

before I came to one sentence referring to her brother who was a child molester and nothing saying she supported his act. At the very end was a reference to her acting as a character witness for Roman Polanski in a defamation law suit against a magazine that he won.

I came away from the article even more convinced that this young women is telling the truth. All of this means nothing in the face of her accusations. It was clearly written from the point of view of someone desperate to prove Mr Allen innocent by weaving a lot of crap together. (how could Woody be a pedophile? No child molester would ever rape a child with so many people in the house) yeah,that never happens.

I can't believe I wasted so much time reading pages to get to the answer of my question.

That link supports what I said, not what you're claiming. Thanks, though, it was interesting. pnwmom Feb 2014 #160

So you didn't read the part that talks about how Allen had little to do with the other children. last1standing Feb 2014 #180

From HIS perspective he had little to do with them. But from THEIR perspective, pnwmom Feb 2014 #187

You haven't even read the link I provided although you claimed you did. last1standing Feb 2014 #188

Yes, I did, although I skimmed much of it. Did it mention the brother? I was looking for the answer pnwmom Feb 2014 #190

You managed to skim right over anything that didn't agree with your preconceived notions. last1standing Feb 2014 #197

I believe the young woman. Her essay was incredibly brave pnwmom Feb 2014 #234

You don't have to read EVERY article to have an opinion. I've read a number over the years, pnwmom Feb 2014 #236

Yet you asked for information it provides AFTER I gave you the link and you said you read it. last1standing Feb 2014 #240

We were discussing whether he was a father figure when you gave me the link. pnwmom Feb 2014 #242

Yes, it did address it. Again you didn't read the article you claimed you did. last1standing Feb 2014 #249

I'm not saying Woody should go to prison or even to trial. But I don't have to respect him, pnwmom Feb 2014 #251

I don't know why Mia did anything, or if she did. It's the young woman I believe. nt pnwmom Feb 2014 #259

So you don't care if Mia Farrow brainwashed her children? that's what her own child claims. last1standing Feb 2014 #266

Moses is one child who obviously wasn't there when Allen was molesting his sister. pnwmom Feb 2014 #270

Now you're just making shit up to suit your fantasy. last1standing Feb 2014 #272

How can you say I'm ignoring "all the proof that he didn't do it." All these years later, pnwmom Feb 2014 #290

I know this is hard but a lack of PROOF generally leans toward innocence. last1standing Feb 2014 #295

Of course it does -- in a TRIAL. But not in real life. In real life, all it is is a lack of proof. pnwmom Feb 2014 #300

LOL! You really don't get it. last1standing Feb 2014 #301

And you expect molested children to be able to present absolute proof that pnwmom Feb 2014 #306

She recounted what happened to her... CoffeeCat Feb 2014 #170

Dylan also changed her story several times. You forgot to mention that part. last1standing Feb 2014 #176

Not several times. She panicked after she saw how upset everyone got and pnwmom Feb 2014 #241

I read about it in one of the Vanity Fair articles. And, as I said, I reserved judgement when it was pnwmom Feb 2014 #246

So you're calling Moses Farrow a liar? Or is he not quite as believable for some reason? last1standing Feb 2014 #248

Moses Farrow can't speak to what happened to the sister who was 7 when he was 17. pnwmom Feb 2014 #250

So the 17 year old is mistaken while the 7 year old is absolutely right. last1standing Feb 2014 #252

The 17 year old can't speak for what happened in private to his younger sister. He wasn't there. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #256

Allen got involved with the adopted full-grown adult sister of his kids. last1standing Feb 2014 #319

It doesn't matter that she was a young adult. Not to the kids. She was their sister. pnwmom Feb 2014 #321

To you it doesn't matter. To them it did. last1standing Feb 2014 #323

Mia didn't invent the incest taboo, and it doesn't matter psychologically if a sibling is adopted. pnwmom Feb 2014 #324

There was no incest. There was nothing approaching incest. Why post deceptions like that? last1standing Feb 2014 #326

It is psychological incest when a father has sex with your sister, even if it isn't legal incest. pnwmom Feb 2014 #329

No such thing but yes, we're done. last1standing Feb 2014 #330

willfully ignoranmt or very misogynistic? I can't decide. elehhhhna Feb 2014 #287

Uh, guess you should know at what age Woody started taking pictures of her nude. HINT she was not an WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #200

Actually, I think the pictures were discovered in 92, when Soon-yi was 19. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #215

According to what I read at the time, she was a minor and still living with her mother when they WCLinolVir Feb 2014 #413

To any who can't understand why rapes and sexual assaults often go unreported, read this thread! Squinch Feb 2014 #194

There's a good amount of evidence suggesting these were implanted memories. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #209

The prosecutor said he had sufficient cause to charge him, but decided not to bring the Squinch Feb 2014 #216

No, actually he never said that. He said he had probable cause. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #225

The reprimand was overturned. Squinch Feb 2014 #230

The child was interviewed multiple times. By whom, I'm not sure. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #243

She was interviewed nine times, in person Nevernose Feb 2014 #261

And again, do you see why sexual assaults so often go unreported? Squinch Feb 2014 #274

So well put. TDale313 Feb 2014 #278

False memories are not a delusion and she isn't a liar. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #284

But you assume false memory rather than experience, and say that Squinch Feb 2014 #291

Yes, I believe based on the totally anecdotal evidence that it is more likely false memory. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #294

She is talking about her experience, not something she read. Squinch Feb 2014 #296

No, you're wrong. This is not the same as all other cases of shaming victims. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #302

And what you simply don't understand is that YOUR conclusion, however you have come to it, Squinch Feb 2014 #372

And I am horrifyingly sure that this is the attitude that sex assault victims come up Squinch Feb 2014 #288

More than a bit deceptive on your part. She was a small child... Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #283

And when I say she has a right to be heard, you say that I am being deceptive. Squinch Feb 2014 #286

Wrong. Totally wrong. Don't try and shame me for something I didn't say. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #289

"I will not put up with such garbage" is a ridiculous thing to say. What does that even mean? Squinch Feb 2014 #292

It means I'm not going to let you lecture me on the gross underreporting of sexual assault. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #299

It is not for you to "let" or "not let" anyone here do anything. You are not in a position to Squinch Feb 2014 #374
