ThEY wErEN’T mArRiEd. Allen is the legal father to three children with Farrow. He came to the house every day, many days at 6:30 am with breakfast. They were partners for 10 years. Call that what you will. I’ve read everything you have posted and years ago at that. Sometimes they say the relationship didn’t start until she was 21, but other times they say she was 19. And Soon Yi says that he pursued her and that is what she liked, “feeling wanted”. What he did wasn’t illegal. I watched an episode of that HBO show about the whorehouse in Nevada. The main pimp had a girl there the night before her 18 th birthday. He fucked her at midnight and put her to work the next day. Also not illegal. Soon Yi was a street urchin adopted by an abusive woman. Allen did nothing to stop the abuse, but started fucking her when she was 19.

It’s fine that you are ok with it and it’s fine that others are not. That’s one thing about tolerance- you have to tolerate people not agreeing with your moral judgments.

He is living with the fallout of his choice. It wasn’t an illegal choice, but people don’t have to condone it even though you do.

And I still watch woody Allen movies AND I lose no sleep for what he has gone through. Not a miscarriage of justice. Crazy abusive woman he didn’t protect his kids from comes for him and he suddenly cares about her victims. Both he and Farrow reaped what the sowed.

That's a long response when I've only corrected your factual misstatements and I've said (repeatedly) what he did was wrong. No matter how wrong it was and whether or not he deserved professional consequences for that bad behavior, my primary points are that we don't know what kind of a person he is now, decades later, and that it's wrong to accuse someone of pedophilia and child sexual abuse when there's no evidence for it. Pretty simple, really.
