If Allen is a paedophile, no rightminded publishing company would wish to pollute their printing presses with his book! >:(

That 'if' is important though.

That's true, no concrete proof yet. I thought he was dodgy going off with the seventeen year old daughter he'd adopted years ago so wouldn't be surprised if he is guilty, but that wasn't against the law.

Woody Allen is wealthy enough to be able to publish& promote his own book, it might even do better following the controversy.

Just for accuracy Soon-Yi Previn was not Allen's adopted daughter at any point. I'm not saying that makes things all fine.

There’s evidence that the accusations against Woody Allen were fabricated and that the alleged victim - Dylan Farrow - was coached by her mother.
