I'm agnostic on his guilt. On the one hand, there's only the one accusation. On the other hand, you and I may disagree on this, but even with your correction, it seems a bit suspect when a 45 year old man meets a 10 year old girl who happens to be the daughter of his lover, and a few years later (she says she was 21, but few people take that at face value) he is carrying on a secret affair with his lover's daughter behind her back.
Sun Yi has reason to insist she never looked at him as a father. But he was a frequent presence in her life when she was still a child, and he was presented to her as her mother's sexual partner, so I think Freud would have a different view. And Woody was a grown-up and knew that he was choosing the one near-child that would cause Mia the most hurt.
