Is there another article I haven't read? Because I don't see anything in the original article that implies that the encounter was consensual. If I stayed overnight with my mother's boyfriend, the last thing I would expect is for him to make a physical pass at me. The age of consent only matters if she wanted it to happen, and at least in the one article linked above, I see no indication that that is true. Where are people getting that from?

Didn't Woody Allen already cover this subject?

It looks like people are making up their own back stories. I think all we know is that they stayed overnight in the same house (which is OK for a father and daughter), but he groped her sexually. Or at least that's what is alleged.

I still don't get what Woody Allen did that was wrong.

For starters, he left nude pics of the young girl around his pad where her mom could see them.  I love the way he parades his neuroses in films.  All the very young women.  And his prostitute stage.  Jesus.

I remember thinking when I saw the initial article that it is paradoxical for a self proclaimed feminist to decorate his house with a headless naked female mannequin torso (see the picture), but maybe that's a body positivity thing. His gf lists her hometown on twitter as "nof!ck v@gina." This seems dumb until you read all the posts that say her daughter, being over the age of consent, has no right to refuse ("nof!ck") consent.

... oh, and he didn't leave for love and poverty, btw. He now has a think tank job that probably pays more than the professorship did:

What a coincidence that of all the places she cd study counseling, compelling her love to sacrificehis job to follow her, she chose one a state away from the capital. 2 body problem solved.

Interesting; a friend at one of his former campuses said he had no interest in women's studies there, a very strong program there, and actually was the furthest thing from it, in his department known to be hostile to women.

It's fairly easy to tell when others "have sold their souls to the devil."  They get tons of unmerited rewards.
