Dylan Farrow has accused him of sexual assault.

To this day she contends she was sexually assaulted by her adopted father Woody Allen.

Yeah, honestly I don't know and luckily I haven't had to thought about that. I tend to side on "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law", unless there's a really compelling reason to act differently. Woody Allen is kind of far away from where I'm standing.
If I was personally involved with him (through work or otherwise) I would probably consider my stand again.

Also Woody Allen's own quote "I'm 35 years older, and somehow, through no fault of mine or hers, the dynamic worked. I was paternal. She responded to someone paternal."
Kind of ruins the argument that he didn't believe himself to be paternal to her.

Granted, although let's be fair, a lot of people seek a maternal/paternal figure. There's nothing wrong with age difference as such.
I'm definitely not cool with it, but ultimately I still think especially at this point it's none of anyone else's business.
