With all that's been said about the allegations against Woody Allen, this ruling by the judge against Allen is the place to start.
It is very detailed and extensive and settles many factual "questions" that the media haven't covered well.
In short, Allen was already in therapy for acting inappropriately towards Dylan. The therapist who was apparently more on Allen's side found him fairly obsessed with her (I believe before the relationship with Soon-Yi even came out) although she says she didn't see it as "sexual." Obviously she'd be motivated not to see that, given who he was and that at that time there weren't accusations of actual abuse against him.

Good God, what more do we need. If he was just a guy living down the street from you, what would be your verdict. Forget about people calling him an Artiste. It should have No Bearing.

And what the judge's opinion also touches on is that Satchel (Ronan) was in therapy first because they had concerns about his behavior. That's concerning on its own. He apparently as a small boy wanted nothing to do with Allen and often tried to kick him. Very unusual behavior for a very young boy towards his father -- or the man publicly identified as his father. From everything that even Mia and Ronan have said, it does seem more than likely that Frank Sinatra is his actual father.

Is Ronan not gay? That is what I have read. I wonder if Woody recognized that already in Ronan (Satchel) when he was a child. Pedos and Gays recognize certain signs that we may not see early on. Also, some children are way more in tune than others, and Satchel could have already realized that Woody's interest in Soon Yi was something more than just normal. Also, I wonder if Woody's interests could be more than just young girls. This just occurred to me yesterday. I wonder if he had made sexual attempts towards Satchel and Moses as well. This is all so very Horrid. My husband wants me to stop reading this stuff because it so greatly affects my life when I read it. But I just can't stop. It makes me sick, but also angry. More angry than I can even explain.
