dads, did you read the rest of the thread before posting? Doing so might have cleared up some of your confusion.
That article you cite, which is entitled "Mia's Story", was simply regurgitating Mia Farrow's accusations at that time, told entirely from her perspective. And as you could find out from a number of posts earlier in the thread, these accusations were brought to the authorities and went nowhere because there was absolutely no evidence to substantiate them.
Please don't be so rash to declare someone "the most patient pedophile in the world" based on a single biased magazine article.
I don't think thinking about this stuff does good for anyone though. At the end of the day, it's an odd situation.
This is too important an issue to be callous about. This is not just about Woody Allen, Dylan, and Mia. Woody has a lot of life behind him, is very successful, and has enough support that he will see it through this. [I won't say "get away with it", rather all that his success and fame does in this situation is give him a fair chance against the accuser].
Now maybe he is guilty. People can be perverse. [My gut says he is not guilty]. This is about civil liberties. Due process. Women ruining the lives of innocent young men with false accusations of rape, and getting away with it. This is about all those men who have or thought of committing suicide because all of society turned on them for being "sex offenders" and scum of the earth. This is for all those men who had no resources, or were not allowed the use of resources to fight for justice, yet took the punches, broke the shackles, and made something of themselves.
Let brother stand by brother...atleast till he is proven guilty. That modicum of decency can be expected, no?
I posted this link already, but this is what we are up against.
