Not knowing the circumstances of the taping, or the rules regarding reporting past crimes and exceptions to client-therapist privilege, I wonder if the tape is going to be considered inadmissible at some point (legal beagle FReepers, feel free to enlighten me on this point).

I think in a group session there is no doctor-patient privlege. However there is both spousal privlege and doctor/patient privlege.

Collins' estranged wife Faye Grant reportedly recorded the actor during in a therapy session in 2012. You hear Collins confess to the molestations. One of the girls was a relative of his first wife and she was 11 years old at the time of the alleged incidents. TMZ reports the NYPD is in possession of the tape and that two detectives flew to Los Angeles last week to interview Grant.

Which just goes to show that an actor isn't the character he plays on TV.

You already answered the question. Good job.

[IronJack]

It’s hearsay. It’s self-incriminatory. It’s confidential. And it’s beyond stale. Any DA would be a fool to prosecute this.

Actors are the lowest of the low. Cannot understand why anyone would look up to them

7th Heaven — s show supposedly about Christians.

Nosy, bossy Christians.

But never once did they ever pray or seek God’s guidance.

[RegulatorCountry]

The guy’s a cretin and deserves prosecution but there are major problems in pursuing it. His ex-wife violating doctor-patient confidentiality by surreptitiously recording a therapy session is not going to fly.

"Estranged wife."

That's really all you need to know.

Well his career is over now, no way Hollywood will embrace a child molester….oh, Roman Polanski…never mind. Whoopi wants to know if it was rape or rape-rape.

[Salvation]

If only they would let them get married and not have this silly celibacy rule........oh.................wrong church, wrong person!

[thefactor]

I just finished watching “Revolution” last night on Netflix, actually. His character on the show was kind of annoying. And that’s all I have to say about this.

[Impy]

The dad from “7th Heaven” (I wonder if they’ll stop syndicating it), and co-star of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”, exposed himself to several little girls and touched at least one of them. Told his shrink in session with his wife, wife taped it for use in their divorce.

Wow. 7th Heaven.

Who was that actor that was arrested for kiddy porn (boys?) Looking it up, Jeffrey Jones. He actually has a new role in an alleged “movie”

It’s common and accepted in Hollyweird but apparently this guy thought he could get away with it elsewhere.

Stephen Collins — Faye Grant Asked Witness to Lie about Molestation

10/8/2014 1:10 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

Stephen Collins Wife Sexual Molestation

Stephen Collins’ estranged wife tried to persuade a witness to make false claims about sexual molestation to authorities, and when the witness refused she retaliated against that witness ... this according to Collins’ lawyer.

Attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells TMZ ... the would-be witness will testify in the upcoming divorce trial. Kaplan claims Grant wanted the witness to claim he/she saw Collins molest a girl — not one of the 3 mentioned in the audiotape. Kaplan says the would-be witness saw no such sexual contact, and when that person refused to testify Grant went on the warpath.

A source connected with Collins also tells TMZ ... during the divorce trial his lawyer will attempt to paint Grant as a fraud. She claimed in legal docs Collins left her destitute, but the source says she was actually blowing between $20K and $40K a month on her credit cards and Collins paid the bills.
