In reply to the discussion: I wonder if more people believe her now. She cried out so long ago, and nothing happened. [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)88. So a young woman had sex with more than one man.
Oh, yeah, that's some big drama there.
Dory Previn blamed the young woman because she couldn't bring herself to blame her husband. It's not an unknown phenomenon. I've done it myself.
Sinatra as a much older man seduced a girl-- it's not the girl who transgressed all by herself. The grown man who had been married four times might be the one who constantly needed drama.
Just sayin... it takes two to tango, but usually only one gets the calumny. And when that one is younger and female, well, gotta wonder why. Previn and Sinatra (and Roy Moore, etc) were older, powerful men with many connections. Ditto Woody Allen. These men could control the coverage-- and they did.

OP
The judge believed her and that's why Alan wasn't allowed further visitation. Why does

The prosecutor at the time said he had probable cause, in part based on the babysitter statement

He didn't prosecute because he thought the process would hurt the 7 year old victim.

If Dylan or Soon Yi were my kid, I'd get pretty "Drama" myself. How about you? As for memories...

There were repeated physical exams by doctors when the victim was a little girl. Is that forensic?

But regardless of what was thought in 1993, Dylan is an adult now with real memories --

I don't think it is as easy as you do. She wasn't hypnotized. These weren't implanted memories

Her brother remembers the same odd things that she does. Woody crawling into her bed at night.

No, I'm sure the Unquestioning Loyalty of his (dwindling) Fan Base helps there..

Soon-yi was 9 years old when Alan got involved with Mia, and a teen when he switched to her.

He and Mia were treated as if they were married by the judge who allowed the adoptions.
