Why do people keep saying "Mia defended Polanski"?

28. It's partially the age difference itself

but maybe more the feeling that he walks the thin line and sometimes strays over it?

The changing relationship between Soon-Yi and Allen is problematic. A mother's boyfriend has no business making moves on her kids in her house no matter what. That is a recipe for trouble. Let's not sugarcoat that. If they were not rich and famous, no one else would either. Apparently at the time, the authorities knew the whole scenario posed a danger to the welfare of all the minor children. Whether Soon-Yi was of age or not. These were adopted children. They were the responsibility of the state. If they were in danger the state had the legal and moral responsibility to act in their interest. And they did. While they didn't press charges, they did deny him custody. They saw the issue was a bit deeper than the letter of the law. They also did not remove the children from Mia. But they did act in what they believed was the children's best interest.

All that blather about Soon-Yi's uncertain age makes me more rather than less suspicious about how long he may have had his eye on Soon-Yi. The timeline of Mia finding that Allen had been taking inappropriate photos of Soon-Yi and Dylan's experiences with him coincide, but do not reveal when the relationship began. I suspect Allen's marriage to Soon-Yi was a bit of a shotgun wedding undertaken to save his career. I find it troubling he has since been allowed to adopt two girls. And that he continues to press for relationships with Mia's children including Dylan.

I don't think it's stupid to question Allen's behavior. Just my opinion though.
