Soon Not His Adopted Daughter ...

http://edition.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9712/24/woody.weds/

VENICE, Italy (CNN) -- Ending a controversial years-long tryst, Woody Allen has married Soon-Yi Previn, who is 35 years younger than he and is the adopted daughter of his former lover, actress Mia Farrow.

The funny part is that it somehow changes the morality of what he did. He was a father type figure to Soon Yi when she was growing up. He adopted 2 kids with her mother and, by appearances to all, had another child with her mother.

So we have Soon Yi of unknown age being adopted in 1978 and then being around Allen from 1980 until 1992 while Allen had children with her mother. Does anyone really know when Allen started having sex with Soon Yi? No one can say how old Soon Yi was when she began having sex with Allen or how old she was in the naked pictures.

A decent man, especially an old man, does not up and decide to start a sexual relationship with a teen aged girl that is the daughter of his lover and the sister of three of his children regardless of whether he legally adopted her or not. Perhaps there is a legal distinction regarding the adoption status, but there is no moral distinction.

It is Allen's past and his lack of moral compass with Soon Yi that makes Dylan's accusations even more credible. When their is smoke, their is fire . . . and we are way post smoke with this little pervert.

Thanks for the link on the recidivism rates with sex offenders. Some of that type of research was being done when I stopped actively working in the field. Most clinicians had run into people with one-off accusations which could either be substantiated or the preponderance of evidence would support the claim. They are not, however, common. A big part of figuring out what happened is the psychological profile of the offender. A big part of working with offenders is the threat of legal consequences, even though there is a good chance the person would not be found guilty in a court.

There should be a history of grooming the child and recidivism aside, it's uncommon that it is a one-time abuser and a one-time victim. Especially as old as Woody was (barring medical/psychiatric problems).

There were a lot of professionals involved in the case, and from what they seem to be reporting, he doesn't fit the profile. Doesn't even seem to come close. I believe he has even passed the screening with Soon Yi and allowed to adopt children with her. Something that would be looked at pretty carefully.

As a father, I would expect you to be very angry, but in this case, it is the mother who has held on to revenge. This is less common. Incest is a devastating situation and most families go to great extents to keep it as private as possible. Mia didn't do that at the time and she seems to continue in that same vein.

The Woody Allen - Mia Farrow relationship is hardly normal and I make no claim to being 100% sure it didn't happen. They fall outside the spectrum of 'normal' on many, many scales, I would suspect.

I have seen it both ways. That stuff that happened in that day care setting was despicable and ruined decent peoples' lives.

I have also seen girls that were 14 or 15 years old that would never testify or say any thing bad about their teachers molesting them or having sex with them. The teachers got caught through other means. These girls would defend the guys to the death and one of them even got an STD from the teacher. One told us that she would never testify against the teacher and that she would marry the teacher when she turned 18.

[Scott]

Thanks for the input.

These are always difficult cases to deal with and many lives left in disarray.

[Berkshire]

e. But the whole marrying-the-step-daughter thing was a bit bizarre, even by Hollywood standards. Can't say yay or nay on this one.

But Allen did NOT marry his stepdaughter, it's the stepdaughter who is making the allegations, both Allen and her brother say the allegations are false.

Yes, he did marry his stepdaughter, the Asian one. Not the same one making the allegation. Are you not up on Woody's exploits?

I think it's you that needs to get your facts right.

Well let's see....Woody's own biological son believes that Woody married his stepdaughter. So who should I believe, you or Woody's own son? Hmmm, tough one.

[Ulysses G.]

A decent man, especially an old man, does not up and decide to start a sexual relationship with a teen aged girl that is the daughter of his lover and the sister of three of his children regardless of whether he legally adopted her or not.

Remember that you don't choose love; love chooses you. All you really can do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life.

Woody Allen has published a response to the allegations.

Mia insisted that I had abused Dylan and took her immediately to a doctor to be examined. Dylan told the doctor she had not been molested. Mia then took Dylan out for ice cream, and when she came back with her the child had changed her story. The police began their investigation; a possible indictment hung in the balance. I very willingly took a lie-detector test and of course passed because I had nothing to hide. I asked Mia to take one and she wouldn’t.

Woody Allen is a creative genius, and whatever his personal life has been nothing will diminish that. And, what he did with hooking up with Soon-Yi didn't make him look good and he probably is a wierdo if not a pervert (which is not surprising). However, to then make the leap and believe he is also a child abuser based on allegations made by Mia is beyond credibility. Mia Farrow is a real piece of work, a hateful, spiteful woman. I wouldn't put anything past her. Normal people don't often "beat" lie detector tests, and that Sunday Review piece provided by UG is interesting.

She was 21 and they're still married today. I can't see any "lack of moral compass", in fact by modern standards of morality, Woody and Soon-Yi's marriage is more moral than most, and certainly more so than Mia Farrow's marriage failures and affairs.

Allen and Previn wed in December 1997 in Venice, Italy and have two adopted daughters. Back in 1992, Soon-Yi Previn told Time magazine she never considered Allen a father figure in her life.

"To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable. My parents are Andre Previn and Mia, but obviously they're not even my real parents," Previn said at the time. "I came to America when I was seven. I was never remotely close to Woody. He was someone who was devoted exclusively to his own children and to his work, and we never spent a moment together."

At the risk of repeating what has already been said, he wasn't her stepfather.

[Ulysses G.]

He was her stepfather.

No he wasn't. He was her adoptive mother's romantic partner.

Soon-Yi Previn said in 1992 that she does not, and never did, consider Woody Allen to be her father, stepfather, or father figure; she said she considers André Previn to be her adoptive father.

[Jingthing]

Bottom line. He hasn't even been legally charged and he never will be. If you insist then on assuming he is a sex criminal that's mean spirited and you wouldn't like it if the world did that to you.

10 Undeniable Facts About the Woody Allen Sexual-Abuse Allegation

by Maureen Orth

This week, a number of commentators have published articles containing incorrect and irresponsible claims regarding the allegation of Woody Allen’s having sexually abused his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. As the author of two lengthy, heavily researched and thoroughly fact-checked articles that deal with that allegation—the first published in 1992, when Dylan was seven, and the second last fall, when she was 28—I feel obliged to set the record straight. As such, I have compiled the following list of undeniable facts:

The "facts" are here: http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2014/02/woody-allen-sex-abuse-10-facts

[neverdie]

If it walks like a duck and squawks like a duck, it's normally a duck.

I've had the unfortunate experience of coming across a few of these sick indIviduals over the years and each and every time they've left me with that skin crawling feeling. I'd love speak with some of the investigators that have dealt directly with the case, they'd know what's going on, even if they couldn't prove it.

I know one things for sure, I wouldn't leave my kids with the creep.

http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Woody-Allen-on-marriage-to-Soon-Yi:--What-was-the-scandal-/8209443

No one knows her birthdate and she was estimated to be between 5 and 7 in October 1978 by a bone scan. Allen got caught and the story broke in 1992, but when did the relationship or sexual molestation actually start? . . . not when story broke . . .

The part I love is going by what Soon Yi said about father figure. What do you expect her to say? Children victimlzed by older molesters will say anything to protect molestor when they are "in love" with the molester.

As noted above, I have seen multiple cases where high school girls molested by their teachers professed love, blamed the entire situation on themselves, refused to testify against or say anything negative about the molestor and indicated they would marry molestor after turning 18.

What makes you think Soon-Yi's birth date is in doubt? She was born on 8 October 1973 in Korea.

And did these molesting teachers marry their victims, adopt kids with them and remain married to them after nearly 20 years?

That she was found on the streets in Korea eating out if garbage cans and no one knew her birthdate. The adoption agency supposedly estimated her age between 5 and 7 by a bone scan in October 1978.

There are famous media cases here in States where that has occurred. I did not keep up with the children in my cases, but I suspect one did.

. . ., but dear God my man, that they married does not change the morality or the possible criminal aspect of it depending upon when relationship started.

Article from 1992.

----------

There was an unwritten rule in Mia Farrows house that Woody Allen was never supposed to be left alone with their seven-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan. Over the last two years, sources close to Farrow say, he has been discussing alleged inappropriate fatherly behavior toward Dylan in sessions with Dr. Susan Coates,a child psychologist. In more than two dozen interviews conducted for this article, most of them with individuals who are on intimate terms with the Mia Farrow household, Allen was described over and over as being completely obsessed with the bright little blonde girl. He could not seem to keep his hands off her. He would monopolize her totally, to the exclusion of her brothers and sisters, and spend hours whispering to her.

Hmmm. "Sources close to Farrow say..." That's impartial then!

If Woody was a child molester why was he allowed to adopt two children with Soon-Yi? Have you read his NYT piece?

[F430murci]

The baby-sitter who was inside searched high and low for them through the cluttered old farmhouse, but she couldnt find them. The outside baby-sitter, after a look at the grounds around the house, concluded the two must be inside somewhere. When Mia got home a short time later, Dylan and Woody were outside, and Dylan didnt have any underpants on. (Allen later said that he had not been alone with Dylan. He refused to submit hair and fingerprint samples to the Connecticut state police or to cooperate unless he was assured that nothing he said would be used against him.) Woody, who hated the country and reportedly brought his own bath mat to avoid germs, spent the night in a guest room off the laundry next to the garage and left the next morning.

http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1992/11/farrow199211#

That day, August 5, Casey called Mia to report something the baby-sitter had told her. The day before, Caseys baby-sitter had been in the house looking for one of the three Pascal children and had been startled when she walked into the TV room. Dylan was on the sofa, wearing a dress, and Woody was kneeling on the floor holding her, with his face in her lap. The baby-sitter did not consider it a fatherly pose, but more like something youd say Oops, excuse me to if both had been adults. She told police later that she was shocked. It just seemed very intimate. He seemed very comfortable.

Scott: Your thoughts in second paragraph?

One summer day in Connecticut, when Dylan was four and Woody was applying suntan lotion to her nude body, he alarmed Mias mother, actress Maureen OSullivan, and sister Tisa Farrow when he began rubbing his finger in the crack between her buttocks.

http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1992/11/farrow199211#

Several times last summer, while Woody was visiting in Connecticut, Dylan locked herself in the bathroom, refusing to come out for hours. Once, one of the baby-sitters had to use a coat hanger to pick the lock. Dylan often complained of stomachaches and headaches when Woody visited: she would have to lie down. When he left, the symptoms would disappear

I prefer to believe the legal ruling on the case and the police investifation , rather than a piece from sources close to Farrow.

"It is our expert opinion that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen. Further, we believe that Dylans statements on videotape and her statements to us during our evaluation do not refer to actual events that occurred to her on August 4th, 1992... In developing our opinion we considered three hypotheses to explain Dylans statements. First, that Dylans statements were true and that Mr. Allen had sexually abused her; second, that Dylans statements were not true but were made up by an emotionally vulnerable child who was caught up in a disturbed family and who was responding to the stresses in the family; and third, that Dylan was coached or influenced by her mother, Ms. Farrow. While we can conclude that Dylan was not sexually abused, we can not be definite about whether the second formulation by itself or the third formulation by itself is true. We believe that it is more likely that a combination of these two formulations best explains Dylans allegations of sexual abuse."

I'm still waiting for your links about Soon-Yi's birth date.

RE: birthdate

Sources about birthdate? You gotta be kidding? Google Soon Yi birthdate and bone scan and every single link will be the source. If you don't know this, you don't even have a basic grasp of the situation.

RE: Legal Finding

There was no legal finding except that the DA wanted to pursue the case and said there was probable cause to pursue. They did not pursue because Mia did not want to further traumatize Dylan.

The civil judge also found that Allen was a danger and threat to Dylan.

RE: Report You Quote

The doctor authoring the report you quote later backed off because he had not seen or examined Dylan and his notes and records magically disappeared.

In his 33-page decision, Judge Wilk found that Mr. Allens behavior toward Dylan was grossly inappropriate and that measures must be taken to protect her.

The Yale-New Haven Hospital Child Sex Abuse Clinics finding that Dylan had not been sexually molested, cited repeatedly by Allens attorneys, was not accepted as reliable by Judge Wilk, or by the Connecticut state prosecutor who originally commissioned them. . . .

Dr. John Leventhal, who signed off on the report but who never saw Dylan or Mia Farrow. No psychologists or psychiatrists were on the panel.

All the notes from the report were destroyed. . . The doctor subsequently backed down from his contention.

Neither of us is going to convince the other. If Woody Allen was a child molester I would have expected other accusations to have been made, as child abuse is not something suddenly taken up in the later years of life. I'm convinced by Woody's remonstrations but I can understand why some others are not.

I guess only two people know the truth.

In any case Woody Allen's talent and body of work is unarguable.
