I certainly would not allow this man to get near any of my children.

This is pretty understandable.

nude photos of one of the young girls

We are still talking about Soon Yi here. She was grown woman at the time of these photos, 19 or 20. She was not a young girl.

We actually do know when their affair began. She was home from college and previously had never spent much time with Allen alone. Mia asked her to take Soon Yi to a basketball game and that's when they started.

I went to college in NJ, right in the NYC media market and remember everyone was following this pretty closely. This broke just as we were returning. I had a few journalism students in my dorm. They would break down which reporters were "Team Mia" and which were "Team Allen."

I believe even Mia said the affair started after Soon Yi came back from college and Mia encouraged Woody to take her to a Knicks game.

I remember when the gossip columns got that picture of the two of them at Knicks game that was a big story. One of the gossip columnists in a memoir talked about getting a picture of Soon Yi at college because there weren't many current pictures of her and it was not publically known where she went to college. They looked through the photos they had and saw her bag or her sweatshirt at an R on it and they went to Rutgers and other local colleges and then found her at Rider.

This is kind of the basic facts of the case. Allen's relationship with Soon Yi was skeevy but not illegal.

You can look at any of the news reports from when this came out to find her age. Lots of the NY papers from back then are online.

I just did a search and here's an article on Woody and Mia from the year before the scandal broke. So this is not rationalization afterwards.

She and Previn had three sons (Matthew, Sascha and Fletcher); then they adopted three orphan girls -- two Vietnamese (Lark and Daisy) and one Korean (Soon Yi). After their divorce, she adopted a Korean infant (Moses Amadeus Farrow), who has cerebral palsy. In 1985, Allen and Farrow adopted a newborn girl from Texas (Dylan O'Sullivan Farrow). Two years later, they had their own son (Satchel O'Sullivan Farrow, named after Satchel Paige, the baseball pitcher and a hero of Allen's; the last name was chosen because the couple didn't want one Allen among two Farrows and six Previns).

..... Allen and Farrow very much lead their own lives, while continuing a relationship that is the longest either has had. By any standard, it is not a conventional union. They are not married, neither do they live together; their apartments face each other across Central Park.
