What's the general percent who believe Woody Allen is innocent or guilty these days?

Question

I know that in 2013-2014 there were people who said yes, then no, and the consensus was who knows.

Then #metoo came around and everyone felt it was appropriate not to give him the benefit of the doubt. Then I don't know where people stand. I've heard some very convincing cases on both sides:

Even here in Hollywood people find Allen "creepy" if not criminal. Not that they wouldn't still work with him to burnish their credits, just that they'd feel guilty about it. It's clear hypocrisy but then what isn't these days.

I don't know.

I know I don't know.

And I'm guessing (with high High HIGH probability) you don't know either.

What is the point in conjecture when you're dealing with sexual assault and criminal justice?  It seems to me to be more destructive than useful.

I assume you mean guilty of the allegation of child sexual abuse by Mia Farrow's friend's babysitter (rather than guilty of cheating on Farrow with her adult adopted daughter).

I haven't read any polls on the subject. In my opinion, since the New York Child Welfare Agency's 14-month investigation concluded the sexual abuse allegation was unfounded, I have no good reason not to trust their judgment.

I live in the United States. In my country we are presumed innocent, until PROVEN guilty.  Sensationalist media stories are NOT proof of anything. If you "convict" someone from the media, you are far more guilty, than anyone you accuse.
