I never considered the child molestation charge against Woody Allen to have any merit, and I think Mr. Allen makes a compelling defense of himself in today’s New York Times. I can’t say that I approve of his decision to begin a romantic relationship with one of Mia Farrow’s adopted children, but it didn’t warrant the nuclear war that Farrow launched in response.
I think the bigger issue here is the prospect that Mia had a child with Frank Sinatra and allowed Allen to think it was his own, and to have him pay child support for the child.
