Her story would "remain consistent" if she'd been coached repeatedly by her mother, and came to believe that things that never happened did indeed happen.

Don't you think it rather curious that no one has ever even hinted that Woody Allen was attracted to female children, or displayed any pedophile tendencies, other than Mia Farrow - who leveled that accusation in the midst of a contentious break-up? Not once, in a very long career, has there ever been so much as a whisper of that type of behaviour.

Not all childhood "memories" are real. NanceGreggs Nov 2017 #10

True. But she was 7, not three or four. And this wasn't something trivial. pnwmom Nov 2017 #13
