127. My mom was on a jury on a case

Mon Feb 3, 2014, 05:47 AM

Feb 2014

I can't remember all the details since it has been so long since she told me the story a man was on trial accused of molesting or some sex crime against his ex-step daughter. She said it became apparent over the trial that she was coached by her mother to make these claims and they did a test that I don't know the name of it but I'd describe it as a virgin test and that was the clincher. She said it was a very short deliberation.

Anyone who thinks an adult telling about being molested as a child is a liar -- [View all] IdaBriggs Feb 2014 OP

I believe her!!! bravenak Feb 2014 #1

It was painful to read. IdaBriggs Feb 2014 #2

I've been there. bravenak Feb 2014 #6

I'm strong, I bend I don't break. bravenak Feb 2014 #16

No they don't. bravenak Feb 2014 #209

It does happen though exboyfil Feb 2014 #229

This was a completely different situation. bravenak Feb 2014 #236

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

Well obviously they do when adults talk about it, as multiple cases show. El_Johns Feb 2014 #322

I believe her, too. Lunacee_2013 Feb 2014 #126

Ida BRIGGS, man!!! Is putting YOU on ignore!! El_Johns Feb 2014 #61

Might as well cut and paste... CSStrowbridge Feb 2014 #255

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

Ah, so she is a perfectly normal, high functioning adult? IdaBriggs Feb 2014 #32

Of course she is not self medicated anythingelse hollysmom Feb 2014 #42

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

K&R! I have NO DOUBT Dylan is telling the truth. BlueCaliDem Feb 2014 #24

I WAS an adult telling about being molested as a child. I KNOW they don't lie. Triana Feb 2014 #26

No Statute of Limitations on Felony Sex Assault: Woody Allen Can Still Be Charged El_Johns Feb 2014 #68

Interesting. I doubt that it will happen though. Trying to construct a case 20 years later pnwmom Feb 2014 #75

They never HAD a case, ANY case. Bonobo Feb 2014 #78

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

I read the Vanity Fair articles. But they're irrelevant to the point I made, which was that despite El_Johns Feb 2014 #292

Yes, the incident with the babysitter coming upon Woody pnwmom Feb 2014 #293

oh, "a brief greeting". Shocking stuff. "The issue" -- yes, what was "the issue" and why would El_Johns Feb 2014 #294

Where is that info about the employee catching him? cui bono Feb 2014 #105

Allen made a formal complaint because the prosecutor said that he had had enough evidence pnwmom Feb 2014 #120

Connecticut state police brought in the Yale clinic, not Allen. The Yale clinic El_Johns Feb 2014 #301

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

All the information you're citing is from one article by one reporter. Nine Feb 2014 #340

The reporter clearly formed an opinion after doing dozens of interviews and collecting pnwmom Feb 2014 #342
