(57,741 posts)after another. Anything but the heart of the allegations and Dylan's testimony. You first insist I am changing the subject because I won't follow your instance that the key issue was that Woody Allen received visitation rights for the two boys, when the court denied even supervised visitation for Dylan. Yet the boys never alleged abuse, so that has no bearing on the key allegation at issue.
Now you insist the issue is that the other children were adopted later, and that Moses is the only one who has credibility because he was 14 at the time. Yet a brainwashing operation would have had to go on for much longer than the period around the alleged sexual abuse. It would have had to endure for years to impact Dylan all this time later. Yet you insist the other children could have no awareness of it, and that Moses is the only one to be believed. Not the victim but Moses.
What is clear is that you want to excuse Allen, and Moses supports that determination. Therefore you insist nothing else matters, least of all Dylan herself. Yes, I understand that is the common reaction. Victims never matter, especially girls.
