He may be an absolute monster. But it is a great injustice to be accused of being a monster, if you are not.

His family history speaks for itself.......the fact that he was attracted to and ultimately married (Soon Yi, the adopted daughter of his long time girlfriend Mia Farrow), is a testament to his twisted sexuality and perverseness. And of course the fact that he had nude photos of her when she lived with he and Mia, which is documented, did nothing to detract from the love he garned from the hollywood leftists......

Mia Farrow reported the abuse of Dylan when she was 7 years old but neither the media nor the authorities did anything about it.

Now the truth comes out from the victim and she's the one who is being brought to task...........

Ok, your facts are just wrong.

The nude photos of Sonn-Yi were found in Allen’s apartment. She was 21 at the time. Allen never lived in Farrow’s home, nor did he ever stay overnight at her home. By Farrow’s own account Woody Allen had little to with the Farrow-Previn children.

In fact Farrow kind of brought this on herself. She recounts in her own memoir the she was disappointed her children with Andre Previn had so little interaction with Woody Allen. So, in 1990 she actually encouraged Soon-Yi to spend time with Allen. Which was kind of odd given that by all accounts her relationship with Woody Allen had become distant by 1990 and was on the rocks.

Odd... certainly, but it’s a pretty huge leap to go from Allen dating a 21 year old woman to child molestation.

Again I suggest you read the NY Times account at the time by the Connecticut police into Farrow’s allegations:

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/04/nyregion/doctor-cites-inconsistencies-in-dylan-farrow-s-statements.html

“The doctor who headed the Connecticut investigation into whether Woody Allen molested his 7-year-old daughter, Dylan, theorized that the child either invented the story under the stress of living in a volatile and unhealthy home or that it was planted in her mind by her mother, Mia Farrow, a sworn statement released yesterday says.

Dr. John M. Leventhal, who interviewed Dylan nine times, said that one reason he doubted her story was that she changed important points from one interview to another, like whether Mr. Allen touched her vagina. Another reason, he said, was that the child’s accounts had “a rehearsed quality.” At one point, he said she told him, “I like to cheat on my stories.”

Dr. Leventhal said: “We had two hypotheses: one, that these were statements that were made by an emotionally disturbed child and then became fixed in her mind. And the other hypothesis was that she was coached or influenced by her mother. We did not come to a firm conclusion. We think that it was probably a combination.”

And later:

“Even before the claim of abuse was made last August, he said, “The view of Mr. Allen as an evil and awful and terrible man permeated the household. The view that he had molested Soon-Yi and was a potential molester of Dylan permeated the household.”

Dr. Leventhal said it was “very striking” that each time Dylan spoke of the abuse, she coupled it with “one, her father’s relationship with Soon-Yi, and two, the fact that it was her poor mother, her poor mother,” who had lost a career in Mr. Allen’s films.

He also said it was possible that Miss Farrow encouraged her child to fabricate simply by videotaping her telling the story, because Dylan liked to perform.”
