128. The McMartin case has nothing to do with Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow

Mon Feb 3, 2014, 04:49 AM

Feb 2014

I find it amazing that while the FBI points out that false allegations are exceedingly rare, on this site people always point to a single false accusation to excuse every single accused rapist. Your post contains a host of outdated and blatantly false information about suppressed memory that might have been valid in the 1980s but is no longer. Then your story about work means fuck all. That means what? No person should ever be convicted of a crime? Does that apply to George Zimmerman and Chris Christie, or is it just child molesters and rapists who deserve to have entirely irrelevant anecdotes count as special evidence in their defense? Every case of sexual assault is the same story around here: Each and every rapist is innocent; the women always liars. Why is that I wonder? I wonder why some are so determined to ensure that accused rapists not only not face jail, but that no one dare question whether they might be guilty?

Anyone who thinks an adult telling about being molested as a child is a liar -- [View all] IdaBriggs Feb 2014 OP

No they don't. bravenak Feb 2014 #209

It does happen though exboyfil Feb 2014 #229

This was a completely different situation. bravenak Feb 2014 #236

Woody Allen has already proved himself to be slime exboyfil Feb 2014 #245

He has a pattern of sexualizing daughter figures. bravenak Feb 2014 #252

Besides Soon-Yi, who are the other "daughter figures" he's sexualized? El_Johns Feb 2014 #317

I think two is enough. Dylan at seven, Soon Yi at 19. bravenak Feb 2014 #318

You said he had a "history". You haven't provided any history. El_Johns Feb 2014 #319

That is his history. bravenak Feb 2014 #324

Dylan is what's at issue. Allen has no history whatsoever of being involved with 7 year olds. El_Johns Feb 2014 #327

Previn was a daughter figure. bravenak Feb 2014 #330

Previn is one person, not a history. You are claiming Allen's relationship with Previn = El_Johns Feb 2014 #339

Is a "history" even necessary truedelphi Feb 2014 #355

excellent point Victor_c3 Feb 2014 #242

Well obviously they do when adults talk about it, as multiple cases show. El_Johns Feb 2014 #322

yes I do I was trying to say that people aren't liars they believe what they believe hollysmom Feb 2014 #137

But in this case we have more. We have the prosecutor from when she was 7, saying that pnwmom Feb 2014 #38

We have the prosecutor... CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #65

Yes, the prosecutor was accused by Allen. But the State Bar ruled that he had NOT pnwmom Feb 2014 #67

Nope. CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #256

The reprimand was revoked. It's very deceptive to leave that part out. pnwmom Feb 2014 #287

And the reprimand was later overturned. Squinch Feb 2014 #257

Who was the employee? Also, you left out the medical examinations that showed no sign of abuse, cui bono Feb 2014 #101

Many children who are groped show no medical signs of the abuse, but it is still abuse. pnwmom Feb 2014 #289

The McMartin case has nothing to do with Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow BainsBane Feb 2014 #128

The child sex abuse hysteria of the 80s-90s probably does have something to do with the Allen- El_Johns Feb 2014 #321

Interesting. I doubt that it will happen though. Trying to construct a case 20 years later pnwmom Feb 2014 #75

They never HAD a case, ANY case. Bonobo Feb 2014 #78

According to at least one report, here was an employee that caught him with his face in Dylan's lap, pnwmom Feb 2014 #81

And there were the other employees who said Farrow pressured them to lie. El_Johns Feb 2014 #85

I'd be interested in reading about that. But the bottom line for me is Dylan's statement itself pnwmom Feb 2014 #86

Lawyers for Woody Allen said Monday that a former nanny who worked for Mia Farrow has testified she El_Johns Feb 2014 #90

The incident with his face in Dylan's lap was supposedly observed by an employee of a friend, pnwmom Feb 2014 #114

It was a nanny Major Nikon Feb 2014 #93

It was a nanny employed by Casey Pascal, not by Farrow. She was in Farrow's house taking care of pnwmom Feb 2014 #117

Casey Pascal being Farrow's childhood friend and Dylan's godmother. So what? You are very El_Johns Feb 2014 #307

In any case like this the people most likely to be witnesses do have connections to the family pnwmom Feb 2014 #308

I place no particular credibility in friends on either side. Here's what I place credibility in: El_Johns Feb 2014 #312

Most cases of molestation don't leave physical evidence. Don't you understand that? pnwmom Feb 2014 #314

I don't consider rubbing suntan lotion on a child's buttocks "abuse". I don't consider putting El_Johns Feb 2014 #332

Well, that explains a lot. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #333

It always comes down to accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of being a pedophile, El_Johns Feb 2014 #335

Casey Pascal reported this to Farrow. An employee of Casey's -- not Farrow's -- who was visiting pnwmom Feb 2014 #116

"Pascal, Mia’s friend since boarding-school days in England" = so? El_Johns Feb 2014 #169

In a court of law, her testimony would carry plenty of weight. pnwmom Feb 2014 #172

Yes, & so would the testimony of the nanny who worked with the kids for 7 years who said El_Johns Feb 2014 #187

Molesters don't do this stuff in front of people. The fact that the long time nanny saw nothing pnwmom Feb 2014 #189

Yet supposedly the babysitter saw him -- during a visitation *after* the Soon-Yi incident, El_Johns Feb 2014 #194

Did you read the Vanity Fair articles? According to them, a therapist who was working pnwmom Feb 2014 #199

Yet Farrow had recently given Allen a glowing endorsement in adoption proceedings for Moses El_Johns Feb 2014 #200

It's true that therapy was the family hobby. But it is also true that the boy's therapist pnwmom Feb 2014 #244

I read the Vanity Fair articles. But they're irrelevant to the point I made, which was that despite El_Johns Feb 2014 #292

oh, "a brief greeting". Shocking stuff. "The issue" -- yes, what was "the issue" and why would El_Johns Feb 2014 #294

Where is that info about the employee catching him? cui bono Feb 2014 #105

Allen made a formal complaint because the prosecutor said that he had had enough evidence pnwmom Feb 2014 #120

Connecticut state police brought in the Yale clinic, not Allen. The Yale clinic El_Johns Feb 2014 #301

That's splitting hairs. The psychologists who "interviewed" the girl were on Woody's payroll. pnwmom Feb 2014 #303

They did interview her (9 times) and they were not on Woody Allen's payroll. Nine Feb 2014 #305

The man who wrote the report never interviewed her. pnwmom Feb 2014 #306

Yale-New Haven relied on information from psychologists connected to Allen when writing its report. pnwmom Feb 2014 #326

It was a six month investigation, and the fact that the HEAD of the clinic didn't interview Dylan El_Johns Feb 2014 #309

Where have you seen it written who DID interview her, besides the people connected with Woody? pnwmom Feb 2014 #311

The fact that the media printed a retraction is hard evidence that someone from the clinic did El_Johns Feb 2014 #315

No one with a medical degree interviewed her. The physician who wrote the report didn't. pnwmom Feb 2014 #323

You claimed the Yale-New Haven team relied on interviews from Allen's personal docs. FALSE. El_Johns Feb 2014 #325

That is not what I said. I said they were on his payroll, and that no medical doctor interviewed her pnwmom Feb 2014 #331

What you said: El_Johns Feb 2014 #334

I never said anywhere that they were Allen's "personal docs." I said they were on his payroll, pnwmom Feb 2014 #336

No, you used the term "psychologists on Allen's payroll" instead of "personal docs," same thing. El_Johns Feb 2014 #338

All the information you're citing is from one article by one reporter. Nine Feb 2014 #340
