Um, that was his daughter.
Woody Allen married his own daughter.
Isn't it lovely that the privileged and affluent can get away with doing whatever they want?
Of course, it cost him his career... sort of.
But it's not like he didn't already have enough money to live comfortably without working for the rest of his life.

Woody Allen married his "non-biological" asian daughter that he and Mia Farrow adopted I believe if I'm correct in my memory. There was no blood relationship so technically it would be possible to marry.

This of course is not the norm in todays society but is possible under those conditions.

What ever turns them on...they can go for it.

Woody Allen did not adopt Soon-Yi. Mia Farrow and Andre Previn were her adoptive parents. Woody and Mia were lovers at the time she found nude pics of Soon-Yi who was 21 at the time. He was 56. They married six years later.

Had some spare time and used Google.

If adoptees are to be equal in status to all other Americans, then this is an abomination and should be illegal.

Woody Allen was not her father - adoptive or otherwise.

Nothing illegal

If a high schooler is having sex with a teacher, I am going to assume until proven otherwise that they are "enjoying" it. Duh.

they don't need to be exploited for someone else's gratification when they are children. it is the duty of the parent to protect their children from these predators who certainly are not concerned with the rights of children.
Someone else's gratification? Are you, like, unaware that adolescents have orgasms or something?

She was unmistakeably an adult. Anyone who gives a f*** about Woody and Soon-Yi has more problems than Woody Allen does.

When my kids are in high school and of legal age (16 where I live) I hope they have good, fulfilling, and SAFE sex lives, and if that includes a teacher, so be it. Of course I would make sure extra precautions were taken to protect the teacher's reputation and career, etc.
