Woody Allen hits back at daughter molestation claims

Well these allegations came up a long time ago and are still being repeated today. I doubt they are not true. Especially against a creep who married his adopted daughter

You better believe that pedo rings are rampant with ultra rich people and people in positions of authority! To lead that type of lifestyle, one would either have to be very rich and/or have authority. Compared to Obama 2016 and Trump 2017, pedo arrests are up over 900%!!!! It seems like ever week, another high ranking person is getting exposed! .... And guess what? They're almost entirely liberals! Isn't it interesting how liberals what to normalize cross dressing gay taking a pee beside your daughter? Or teaching the dynamics of homosexual acts to elementary school children?

I bet this geyser is guilty! I haven't looked at his case closely though....

He was proved innocent. Being a couch potato lawyer, jury and judge will not change things. I believe the man just as the courts did.

He was proved innocent.

I don't believe there was ever a trial, but even if there was, people are not proven innocent, they are found not guilty. They are not the same thing.

So someone found guilty is not not proven innocent? Semantics

So someone found guilty is not not proven innocent?

That's correct.

Semantics

No, not at all. There is a significant difference. A finding of not guilty means that with all the collected evidence, there wasn't enough to determine that the person was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. This means that there could be significant doubt - all jurors or a judge may think the guy is very likely guilty of the crime, but there just wasn't enough to determine that for sure.

A finding of innocence would require that there is enough proof to determine the person definitely didn't do it. Any kind of evidence to the contrary would require finding them not-innocent.

They are very different results.

Many offenders that slipped through the stitches of justice with a not guilty verdict have confessed their crimes afterwards. Not guilty doesn’t primarily means innocent. Allen is a scum. I wonder why he still has a stage and makes movies. Talking about privilege.

A great film maker plagued for the last 25 years or so with allegations.

Who to believe? It's all very murky stuff.

Mind you; I'm not sure what his politics have to do with it, nor the offensive trope of equating LGBT people with paedophilia?

Honestly; you couldn't make this stuff up. Oh, wait...

One person's word against another. It is pretty telling that the allegations came out while he was in the pro cess of splitting with Mia Farrow. You mean to tell me she stayed with him all those years while he was molesting their child? Quite possible but seems unlikely to me. Sounds like the wrath of a spurned lover. What real evidence do these actresses have all of a sudden that makes the support Dylan Farrow. Unless the accused says he or she is guilty, is found guilty at a trial, or there is a preponderance of evidence, I feel the accused is not guilty. Inconclusive doesn't mean not guilty, but it doesn't mean guilty, either.

the guys has always looked creepy to me. and marrying his wife's adopted daughter kinda lends credence to the daughter's allegations.

This reeks of trial by media, there is no justice to be had in vicious claims of assertion without recourse to jurisprudence. This is the essence of social media's modern day mentality of lynch mob justice.

Abuse allegations during a bitter divorce and custody battle? Surprise. Fortunately, most investigators can see right through these BS claims.

Its a textbook tactic to get a leg up on the accused in divorce proceedings. Its disgusting the amount of time wasted on false charges like these, while real abuse cases are forced to wait in line while accusations from these sad, bitter people are being investigated and dismissed.

Damn. They were never married. I thought they were. I really wish there was an 'edit' function here... just forget what I just said, oops.

In USA, when people are arrested, they can use 5th amendment to arresting officers and in trial court. "I refuse to answer question because answering question may incriminate me,' If there is no eye witness testifying, he will be freed. Often witnesses keep mouth shut because they get not picked during testimony and charged as perjury if any little misstatement.

Each state has different ages of minor. I don't know when people become adult in Calif.
