It is not like everyone else's opinion. It is the legal record before the court. It makes clear the entire story Woody Allen and his publicity machine have spread all these years is false. There is no evidence for it. Yet there is evidence suggesting abuse, including the fact that Woody took Dylan away unsupervised (which he was not entitled to do according to custody arrangements, ie a court order) and when she returned she had no panties on. A nanny witnessed that. Told her boss, who then contacted Mia and told her. Mia knew nothing about the fact Woody and Dylan had been missing for a period of time that day when she first asked Dylan what happened. Dylan told her Woody touched her genitals. Dylan then told the same thing to the family doctor. She later told the same thing, outside of Mia's presence, to the therapist Schultz that Allen had hired. Schultz first lied and claimed Dylan hadn't said she was abused. A week later she called Woody and then the NY Child welfare office to report the abuse. So Nine's claim that she insisted that Dylan wasn't abused doesn't hold up. Dylan told her the precise opposite.
The Yale team refused to testify at the trial. The judge ruled their report was not in keeping with professional standards and therefore unreliable. A neutral therapist hired by the court, an expert in child sex abuse, saw no evidence of coaching or brainwashing. Allen was able to provide none. The entire story of coaching rests on Mia's utterance that she hoped Dylan was fantasizing, meaning at first she didn't want to believe it was possible for Woody to have molested Dylan.
The judge is not a random person on the internet. His is not just an opinion. He listened to testimony, reviewed all the documents, and heard from experts.
Woody Allen is not a convicted child molester, that is true, but the rest of the story he's been telling is entirely unfounded. People here have recounted his publicist's version of the story. Now you have a legal record to set the story straight.
For days we've been hearing how those who believe Dylan are not paying attention to "facts." Well now we have a legal finding of fact, literally, and you all claim it's "just another opinion." It is not just another opinion. It is the court record. You need to read it if you haven't already done so. This should be a cautionary tale for assuming rape victims and child abuse victims are lying.
