法官不但判Allen败诉，还在判决书里说Woody Allen的行为严重不适当，要求采取措施保护Dylan；检察官也公开说明不起诉的原因不是罪证不足，而是怕二度伤害儿童。Allen团队提出的不在场证词和评估报告，则被法官、检察官甚至警方判定不可采信。
Not only did the judge find Allen to have lost, but he also found in the judgement that Woody Allen’s conduct was grossly inappropriate and demanded that measures be taken to protect Dylan; the prosecutor also publicly stated that the reason for the non-indictment was not insufficient evidence, but fear of secondary harm to the child. The alibi testimony and assessment report submitted by Allen’s team was found inadmissible by the judge, the prosecutor, and even the police.
