I wonder why none of the girls who are probably adults now never broke this news before.

And it seems like a dick move to secretly record a conversation to incriminate someone to confess.

As a top family-friendly network, we are deeply concerned for the families that are potentially affected by these disturbing allegations (http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2014/10/stephen-collins-confesses-to-child.html) surrounding actor Stephen Collins (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2014/10/07/7th-heaven-dad),” the president and CEO of UP said in a statement (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115083/board/flat/235392055?p=1). PLUS: LAPD investigated Collins in 2012 (http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/07/stephen-collins-lapd-investigation-child-molestation-los-angeles-audio-tape/) for molestation, will now reopen the investigation, and a woman claims Collins molested her (http://www.tmz.com/2014/10/07/stephen-collins-molested-child-molestation-victim-wife/) when she was 10.

Are you basing these ridiculous comments on what she said in that brief TMZ video? If you are then you're being very unfair to her. She may very well have been unaware of what was going on with him. Anything can happen off the set, you must think that actors spend all their free time together and that Mr. Collins could not have done these things without the knowledge of those who worked with him so why not include the others stars of the show instead of singling out Catherine Hicks? As I'm concerned she said nothing wrong. All she did was the praise the man that she and others thought they knew so why attack her?

I just can't believe she would say this. Especially after he stated in on tape. And nobody can tell me otherwise (i.e. It was doctored).

I'm all for "Innocent Until Proven Guilty", but it seems like I can't be when it comes to this guy.

On IMDB, someone called Catherine Hicks "Liberal Scum", and compared her to Jerry Sandusky's wife.

If she had known what was going on with him before the tape was sent to TMZ then I'd agree with you. I also haven't heard anything about it being doctored and I never read the message boards at IMDb so what's posted over there is irrelevant to me.

Stephen Collins: My Wife Peddled Tape To Squeeze Money out of Me
10/7/2014
bY TMZ STAFF


Stephen Collins' lawyer is putting his client's estranged wife Faye Grant on blast, claiming she has been trying to use the audiotape for years to extort money out of the actor.

Collins' lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells TMZ, "Over the course of my representation of Stephen in the divorce case, Faye has repeatedly threatened to give this audiotape to the media unless Stephen agreed to pay her millions of dollars more than that to which she was legally entitled."



Kaplan goes on, "When these demands were rebuffed, Faye attempted -- without success -- to peddle the tape in numerous ways to numerous different people.

It appears that she has finally found an audience for this tape -- not surprisingly, on the eve of the trial in the divorce case where, again, she is seeking millions of dollars more than that to which she is legally entitled."



Kaplan then says he'd like to address the audio confession but can't, saying, "Though we would like to address the tape itself, the circumstances dictate that we must regrettably refrain from doing so at this time."

And a source close to Collins says the incidents on the audiotape occurred between 20 and 40 years ago.

They are who I feel for the most after the victims of course. To me, everyone else from the show shouldn't have to suffer because of what happened. I'm sure that knowing about his choice of action is bad enough for them already. If I was in their position, I would be horrified.

And if he confessed in front of a therapist, anything that his wife planned on doing didn't matter anymore because the doctor there with them was supposed to have come forward. When a person confesses to a crime, I don't believe that the doctor patient confidentiality thing means anything anymore. All doctors are bounded by law to report any illegal activity that they get wind of.

God bless you and the victims and everyone else from the show always!!!

Full story from The LA Times.....

Link (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-stephen-collins-sheriff-investigation-20141015-story.html)

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has launched an investigation into "7th Heaven" actor Stephen Collins for allegedly exposing himself to a minor about three decades ago, officials said, adding to existing sexual-abuse police inquires in L.A. and New York.

Sheriff’s Capt. Shaun Mathers said the department is working with detectives from New York, who have been examining allegations that Collins had sexual contact with at least two minors there.

The 67-year-old actor is best known for his role as the wholesome, family-oriented Rev. Eric Camden on the TV series "7th Heaven."

An audio recording surfaced last week in which a man who police believe is Collins confesses to exposing himself to and sexually abusing three underage girls. Police in Los Angeles and New York said they reviewed the recording after receiving information in 2012 that the actor may have molested children years ago.


The LAPD said it began an investigation of Collins in 2012 after a woman contacted police to say he had molested her in New York four decades earlier, and that she thought he may have molested one of his relatives in California. LAPD Capt. Fabian Lizarraga said investigators repeatedly reached out to the relative, but she never responded and the allegation was never substantiated.

"We can't force her to talk to us," he said.


Lizarraga said investigators also spoke to Collins' estranged wife and obtained the recording, which was apparently made during a therapy session. By the time celebrity news site TMZ posted what it said was a portion of that recording on its website last week, the LAPD's case was no longer active.

The department said it was taking another look at its earlier investigation.

The NYPD said its ongoing investigation began with a complaint in 2012 involving an incident alleged to have occurred in 1972. The complaint said Collins forced a girl, then 14, to commit a lewd act inside his Manhattan apartment, police said. Special victims detectives are handling the case.

In divorce documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Collins' estranged wife said she learned of her husband's "secret life" during a January 2012 therapy session.

"I believe that Stephen used his celebrity status to engender the trust of the families of the children he molested," Faye Grant wrote. "I further believe that there have been other victims, but he has thus far only confessed to those three girls."

Grant wrote that she was shocked and "sickened" by the revelations. Two weeks after the therapy session, the couple separated, according to the records. Grant said she contacted police in New York and Los Angeles.

A trial in the divorce case is scheduled to begin next month.

Collins' attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, did not directly address the alleged abuse in his response filed with the court. But he called Grant's attempt to seek a trial a "blatant misuse" of the judicial system and an "attempt to extort concessions." He has not responded to requests for comment.

An attorney for Grant, Larry Ginsberg, said in a statement that his client did not make the tape public and had never tried to use the audio "to extort a settlement from Collins."

Reruns of the WB series were pulled in October as Stephen Collins’ child molestation scandal made headlines. But UP’s CEO now says: ""We brought the show back because many viewers expressed they could separate allegations against one actor from the fictional series itself."

Banning reruns of a TV show, because of someone's personal life, is not going to solve anything. Never has and never will. Don't know why some stations think it will.

It just makes me feel like I don't know what to think about any famous person anymore. I mean between this and Bill Cosby. Horrible stuff.

^^^ What makes Stephen different than Bill is the fact that he was a big enough person to admit to what he was guilty of during the recorded counseling session that ended up in the hands of the media when he didn't have to admit to anything. Nobody was accusing him of anything. Stephen told on himself. We most definitely did not see Bill Cosby do such a thing.

God bless you and Stephen always!!!

P.S. I saw Stephen's 20/20 TV show chat this past Friday and to me, if he was being honest, he came across as a guy who is willing to spend the rest of his life making up for the wrong that he did and if that does not say everything that there is to know about him, I don't know what will.

Because he came clean about something that was on a recording, that makes him a "big enough person?" I couldn't disagree more. The man is a pedophile. There's no looking on the bright side of that.

Robert Reed was gay. So what? There is no law against being gay.

There WAS such a law when Robert Reed was on the Brady Bunch, that's why he could never expose his peccadillo. :D

Being gay was NEVER against the law. So I suggest you get your facts straight.

I was referring to him saying anything at all during that counseling session whether it was going to be recorded or not. He didn't have to say a word about what he did during the session...but he did and in my opinion that is a whole lot further than most people are willing to go these days.

God bless you and him always!!! :) :) :)

P.S. Actually my dad won't deny what it is that he is guilty of either, but not because he has something to be ashamed of. He admits to what it is that he is into because he couldn't be anymore proud of his being into it, the little word that I can not say! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh. Well, in was in Canada until 1969. Ontario police raided men's and ladies bathhouses well into the 1980's. Montreal police raided a gay bar in the 1990's.

"I was visiting my aunt," Price told the DailyMail. Price was excited to discover Collins was her aunt's neighbor because she was a fan of a show he starred on called "The Tales of the Gold Monkey." When she worked up the courage to ask for the actor's autograph, Collins promised to get her one.…
