Accused child molester Woody Allen regularly palled around with neighbor Jeffrey Epstein — even after the pedophile served jail time for sex with underage girls, according to a trove of documents.
The controversial 87-year-old director arranged get-togethers with Epstein at least once a month throughout 2014 and 2015, according to the latest collection of documents, including emails and schedules, revealed by The Wall Street Journal.
Allen’s assistant also sent a private invite in November 2012, more than three years after Epstein finished his jail time for pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution from a girl aged under 18, the docs showed.
“Woody was wondering if Jeffrey would be interested in watching his new film either today or tomorrow?” the note asked, with the convicted pedophile replying that he was available.
The following year, the pair planned to visit the studio of artist Jeff Koons, who did not respond to a request for comment about it, the WSJ said.
A year later, in October 2014, Epstein planned for the “Annie Hall” director to give lessons on film editing at the sprawling Manhattan mansion where Epstein abused girls and hosted numerous high-profile guests, including Prince Andrew, the documents showed.
Those lessons were for a group of guests — none of who were identified — after they first watched Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece “Psycho,” the documents show.
The apparent pals reportedly also planned at least one trip together to Sotheby’s auction house in 2017.
Throughout the years, Epstein arranged for his famous movie-making neighbor to attend dozens of dinners at his townhouse a short stroll from Allen’s own Upper East Side home, the report stated.
The documents showed that he was accompanied by his wife Soon-Yi Previn, the young woman he started an affair with while still in a relationship with actress Mia Farrow, who’d adopted her during an earlier marriage.
Allen and Previn have previously been photographed strolling down the street with Epstein, and identified as guests at his swanky dinner parties, including at least one with disgraced royal Andrew.
“Woody and Soon-Yi lived in the same neighborhood as Epstein and were frequently invited to dinner parties at his townhouse,” a spokeswoman for the couple confirmed to the WSJ, noting that “there were always other guests at those gatherings.”
“Woody never had a business meeting with Epstein and not once spent time with him without Soon-Yi also being present,” the spokeswoman added.
Epstein was facing further serious sex charges when he was found hanged in his Manhattan lockup in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide.
Allen, meanwhile, has also faced — and repeatedly denied — long-standing accusations of his own behavior.
His ex-girlfriend, Farrow, said she first found out Allen had been having sex with her daughter when she found naked photos of her in Allen’s possession.
He later admitted in court that he expected to keep it hidden before marrying Soon-Yi in 1997, when she was 26 and he was 61.
One of Allen and Farrow’s jointly adopted children, Dylan Farrow, would later accuse the director of sexually assaulting her when she was 7. Police were called at the time but charges have never been filed.
Their journalist son Ronan Farrow also led calls for his dad to be canceled.
Allen has repeatedly denied the allegations, however, telling CBS Sunday Morning in a 2020 interview that it was part of a “preposterous … smear.”
“There’s no logic to it,” he said then. “And they still prefer to cling to if not the notion that I molested Dylan then the possibility that I molested Dylan…Nothing that I ever did could be misconstrued as that,” he said.
He later also called a damning deep-dive into the allegations in the HBO docu-series “Allen v. Farrow” a “hatchet job” that was “riddled with falsehoods.”
“Multiple agencies investigated them at the time and found that, whatever Dylan Farrow may have been led to believe, absolutely no abuse had ever taken place,” he said in a statement at the time.
