... multiple women came forward.
Where are the multiple children that Allen molested? Where were the parents of these children who were sexually assaulted by Allen?
Not only have there not been any such accusations over these many years, there have not even been rumours about such activity.
It's a matter of the weight of the evidence. Is it more likely that Allen has been molesting children for decades and has managed to completely escape detection, or is it more likely that a distraught Farrow leveled the accusations and coached her child to concur?
Given Allen's fame and high profile, how likely is it that not a single person, other than Farrow, has ever come forward with so much as a "now that I think back on it, I did see things that would lead me to believe he was sexually attracted to children"? Not one person has, and I think we can agree that Allen has had contact with literally thousands of people who would have noticed anything untoward in that regard. And when it comes to pedophilia, even the most closed-mouth people have a tendency to speak up.
It's like any other crime. If someone accused you of being an embezzler, and yet you'd worked for decades without ever being accused of such by anyone else, what is the likelihood that they are telling the truth and you have been getting away with theft without being caught, or even suspected of such behaviour, for an entire lifetime?
The position you are taking here seems to be that one accusation - unproven, and leveled by someone with her own agenda - outweighs a lifetime of never having been so much as suspected of such wrongdoing by a single other person, no less accused by anyone.
