It’s hearsay. It’s self-incriminatory. It’s confidential. And it’s beyond stale. Any DA would be a fool to prosecute this.
His wife recorded the conversation in Ca which is legal in that state. Heard some of this on the radio, he is toast.

It is not “hearsay” if there is a recording of it.
It is “self-incriminatory”, but so what? All confessions are. He was not being questioned by law enforcement or in court without waiving his right to remain silent, so no 5th Amendment issues exist.
Not sure what the California law about confidentiality is.
The “staleness” might be an issue for the DA. From the listening to the tape, it would seem that at least 2 of the 3 girls could be identified, possibly all 3. The tape alone would not seem enough to convict him, without victims coming forward.
The guy admits to exposing himself, multiple times to a girl when she was 11, 12 and 13 and putting her hand on his penis, at least once. He also admits to non specific incidents with 2 other girls.
Whether or not a DA can make a case at this point, the guy is a disgusting pervert and nobody should be making excuses for him or looking for ways for him to beat the rap.
I get the whole “bitter ex wife thing”, but some ex wives have good cause to be bitter, and his ex seems to be one of them.
