Anyone who thinks an adult telling about being molested as a child is a liar -- [View all]

Please check in here so I can put you on Ignore.

The stats on child sexual abuse -- one out of three women molested as children, one out of seven men molested as boys -- are such that "nobody went to jail" is an absolutely insane reason to disbelieve a child sexual assault survivor. (No, I am not going to provide the source for the stats - I've known them for a long time and you can google them yourself.)

The stats on ADULT rape victims who know their attackers and watch them go to jail is damn near zero. The stats on teenage girls with video evidence out on social media seeing the people who did it go to jail are outnumbered by the ones who commit suicide after being bullied about it (at least from what I see in the news).

Do I believe Woody Allen molested a seven year old girl? Yes. I find her credible.

And if you don't, and think the way our amazing criminal justice system treats victims of sexual abuse is the way to determine credibility NOW, let alone twenty or thirty years ago, speak up here, because so help me, I will fill up my ignore list with joy because seriously, it is a level of stupid I don't need to see.

Woody Allen has already proved himself to be slime exboyfil Feb 2014 #245
He has a pattern of sexualizing daughter figures. bravenak Feb 2014 #252
Besides Soon-Yi, who are the other "daughter figures" he's sexualized? El_Johns Feb 2014 #317
I think two is enough. Dylan at seven, Soon Yi at 19. bravenak Feb 2014 #318
You said he had a "history". You haven't provided any history. El_Johns Feb 2014 #319
That is his history. bravenak Feb 2014 #324
Dylan is what's at issue. Allen has no history whatsoever of being involved with 7 year olds. El_Johns Feb 2014 #327
Previn was a daughter figure. bravenak Feb 2014 #330
Previn is one person, not a history. You are claiming Allen's relationship with Previn = El_Johns Feb 2014 #339
Is a "history" even necessary truedelphi Feb 2014 #355
excellent point Victor_c3 Feb 2014 #242

It wasn't the only one: there was a rash of these in the late 80s, early 90s. El_Johns Feb 2014 #304
yes, my cousin with "recovered" memories is not a liar, but she is wrong hollysmom Feb 2014 #30

the recovered memory thing brings up a good point as do some of the other posts loli phabay Feb 2014 #34
You realize that Dylan Farrow doesn't have recovered memories, right? n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #135
yes I do I was trying to say that people aren't liars they believe what they believe hollysmom Feb 2014 #137
But in this case we have more. We have the prosecutor from when she was 7, saying that pnwmom Feb 2014 #38
We have the prosecutor... CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #65
Yes, the prosecutor was accused by Allen. But the State Bar ruled that he had NOT pnwmom Feb 2014 #67
Nope. CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #256
The reprimand was revoked. It's very deceptive to leave that part out. pnwmom Feb 2014 #287
And the reprimand was later overturned. Squinch Feb 2014 #257
Who was the employee? Also, you left out the medical examinations that showed no sign of abuse, cui bono Feb 2014 #101
Many children who are groped show no medical signs of the abuse, but it is still abuse. pnwmom Feb 2014 #289
The McMartin case has nothing to do with Woody Allen and Dylan Farrow BainsBane Feb 2014 #128
The child sex abuse hysteria of the 80s-90s probably does have something to do with the Allen- El_Johns Feb 2014 #321

According to at least one report, here was an employee that caught him with his face in Dylan's lap, pnwmom Feb 2014 #81
And there were the other employees who said Farrow pressured them to lie. El_Johns Feb 2014 #85
I'd be interested in reading about that. But the bottom line for me is Dylan's statement itself pnwmom Feb 2014 #86
Lawyers for Woody Allen said Monday that a former nanny who worked for Mia Farrow has testified she El_Johns Feb 2014 #90
The incident with his face in Dylan's lap was supposedly observed by an employee of a friend, pnwmom Feb 2014 #114
It was a nanny Major Nikon Feb 2014 #93
It was a nanny employed by Casey Pascal, not by Farrow. She was in Farrow's house taking care of pnwmom Feb 2014 #117
Casey Pascal being Farrow's childhood friend and Dylan's godmother. So what? You are very El_Johns Feb 2014 #307
In any case like this the people most likely to be witnesses do have connections to the family pnwmom Feb 2014 #308
I place no particular credibility in friends on either side. Here's what I place credibility in: El_Johns Feb 2014 #312
Most cases of molestation don't leave physical evidence. Don't you understand that? pnwmom Feb 2014 #314
I don't consider rubbing suntan lotion on a child's buttocks "abuse". I don't consider putting El_Johns Feb 2014 #332
Well, that explains a lot. n/t pnwmom Feb 2014 #333
It always comes down to accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of being a pedophile, El_Johns Feb 2014 #335
Casey Pascal reported this to Farrow. An employee of Casey's -- not Farrow's -- who was visiting pnwmom Feb 2014 #116
"Pascal, Mia’s friend since boarding-school days in England" = so? El_Johns Feb 2014 #169
In a court of law, her testimony would carry plenty of weight. pnwmom Feb 2014 #172
Yes, & so would the testimony of the nanny who worked with the kids for 7 years who said El_Johns Feb 2014 #187
Molesters don't do this stuff in front of people. The fact that the long time nanny saw nothing pnwmom Feb 2014 #189
Yet supposedly the babysitter saw him -- during a visitation *after* the Soon-Yi incident, El_Johns Feb 2014 #194
Did you read the Vanity Fair articles? According to them, a therapist who was working pnwmom Feb 2014 #199
Yet Farrow had recently given Allen a glowing endorsement in adoption proceedings for Moses El_Johns Feb 2014 #200
It's true that therapy was the family hobby. But it is also true that the boy's therapist pnwmom Feb 2014 #244

That's splitting hairs. The psychologists who "interviewed" the girl were on Woody's payroll. pnwmom Feb 2014 #303
They did interview her (9 times) and they were not on Woody Allen's payroll. Nine Feb 2014 #305
The man who wrote the report never interviewed her. pnwmom Feb 2014 #306
Yale-New Haven relied on information from psychologists connected to Allen when writing its report. pnwmom Feb 2014 #326
It was a six month investigation, and the fact that the HEAD of the clinic didn't interview Dylan El_Johns Feb 2014 #309
Where have you seen it written who DID interview her, besides the people connected with Woody? pnwmom Feb 2014 #311
The fact that the media printed a retraction is hard evidence that someone from the clinic did El_Johns Feb 2014 #315
No one with a medical degree interviewed her. The physician who wrote the report didn't. pnwmom Feb 2014 #323
You claimed the Yale-New Haven team relied on interviews from Allen's personal docs. FALSE. El_Johns Feb 2014 #325
That is not what I said. I said they were on his payroll, and that no medical doctor interviewed her pnwmom Feb 2014 #331
What you said: El_Johns Feb 2014 #334
I never said anywhere that they were Allen's "personal docs." I said they were on his payroll, pnwmom Feb 2014 #336
No, you used the term "psychologists on Allen's payroll" instead of "personal docs," same thing. El_Johns Feb 2014 #338
