Moses Supposes…and Probably Not Erroneously

For some time here, I've been planning an article about why I am seriously unconvinced that Woody Allen molested a seven-year-old girl. I haven't gotten around to it, in part because I can't fully wrap my brain around why some people are so Absolutely, Positively, Without a Shadow of a Doubt Certain that it happened, and that you're as bad as any child molester if you question that he did that foul deed.

For the record, I think a lot of people have been wrongly convicted of murder — like, for example, those who have been freed from Death Row due to DNA testing — so I guess that makes me as bad as any murderer.

I think we ought to listen to any woman who claims to have been violated — or even to any male who claims to have been abused by someone with greater power. All should be heard and their charges should be investigated and, where warranted, prosecuted.

And if you've listened to Dylan Farrow insist that she was abused by Woody Allen, you should also listen to (read, actually) Moses Farrow insist that she was not but that he and his siblings were abused by their mother.
