Moses Farrow Tells People Magazine That Allen "Of Course" Did Not Molest Moses' Younger Sister Dylan

116. I don't believe one can automatically believe any claimed victim

I do believe one needs to look into what motivations people have to lie and in the case of victims and perpetrators the perpetrators definitely have a stronger motive to lie with no more information than that. So all things being equal, one should give more credibility to someone who claims to be a victim, but that doesn't mean one has to ignore all other evidence. Allen clearly has a motive to lie, but many other people who have offered evidence don't. Farrow certainly has a motive to lie as well, and the idea that she could have manipulated Dylan is not without merit. In fact that's exactly what the official investigators found. Another thing that's significant is child molesters quite often molest other children which you point out. Allen has never been so much as accused of molesting any other children before or since and the man is nearly in his 80's. That doesn't mean he didn't do it, but it is another piece to the puzzle.
