  • It isn’t an honest answer.

    This is the level you’re stooping to? I think you need to reevaluate your approach to this.

    It could mean “I have 99% confidence something traumatic did happen to me.” It also could mean “I have 1% confidence something traumatic did happen to me.”

    It could mean that, as I originally said, “I don’t have many memories from that age and none I would be 100% confident about in their accuracy.”

    That’s the truth. You may not like it but that’s not my problem.

    Anyway, I sense you’re pulling on this thread for all it’s worth to avoid discussing literally everything else I’ve brought up. Let’s leave it there. It’s like talking to a brick wall.




  • “On August 17, 1992, the Connecticut State Police announced that they were investigating the molestation allegation. In September the police referred Dylan to the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of Yale New Haven Hospital. The main questions were whether Dylan was telling the truth and whether she was sexually abused. Frank Maco, State’s Attorney for the Litchfield district, declared in 1997 that he asked the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic to evaluate whether Dylan would make a viable witness. The clinic’s professionals met with the police and Maco for preliminary information. Between September 18 and November 13 they conducted nine separate interviews with Dylan and her mother. On October 14 they interviewed Groteke, and between November 17 and January 7 they had three interviews with Allen. Finally, they met with Farrow to review the recording she had made of Dylan between August 5 and 6. Berge, the other nanny present on August 4, was also interviewed, as were the two psychotherapists treating the children, Coates and Nancy Schultz. The Child Sexual Abuse Clinic medical director, Dr. John M. Leventhal, signed the team’s report while Dylan was interviewed by the social workers. Completed in March 1993, the report concluded: “It is our expert opinion that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen.””

    You’re still refusing to answer a simple question. More to the point, what on earth gives you the confidence to pass judgement from a distance when your judgement is 100% at odds with experts who were directly involved in the case?

    Again, maybe believe her.

    You piss off the wrong person, they go to the police with a story that you committed a violent sexual assault against them. You didn’t.

    By your logic, you’re a rapist.

    See how stupid that is?


  • What sort of thing on that level of trauma happened to you when you were 7?

    Like I said, I don’t have many memories from that age and none I would be 100% confident about in their accuracy.

    Maybe believe victims.

    Good grief, no. Take victims seriously, give them support, get their story, investigate, absolutely. Believe everything everybody says who identifies as a victim? That’s asinine.

    Scroll up, you didn’t answer my question. You’re choosing to believe something based on what evidence? Please explain why you’re certain when the people who actually investigated these allegations are not.
