"I exposed myself to this YOUNG WOMAN"? Uh no sir YOU EXPOSED YOURSELF TO A CHILD! You sexually abused this child.

Any grown man who calls a 10-year-old a "young woman", is telling on themselves.

Thank you for addressing the fact that being a victim oneself is NEVER justification for abusing someone else. We are responsible for our own actions.

No, KZread, this does not make me want to watch 7th heaven on paramount.

Another thing that should be pointed out: When talking about his first victim, Collins says he placed her hand on him in such a way that "SHE was touching ME inappropriately", instead of "I made her touch me inappropriately." It's like he's partially shifting the responsibility for what happened onto the child.

In Puerto Rico, we don't have a statute of limitations in regard to s3xual abuse. The survivor can be 5 years old at the time of the abuse, and she discloses that when 40 years old, the perpetrator will face trial. Is a crime that should not expire.

The fact that he was given this, quite frankly flattering and sympathetic, interview is absolutely disgusting.

the fact that he has the audacity to show his face and talk about his crimes on tv seems so egotistical. report to jail please.

“I moved her hand in such a way that she was touching me inappropriately.” Just awful. The construction of that sentence has “she was touching me inappropriately” as primary action, tacitly putting the onus on a 10 year old girl. Media coach going the hell right with him for helping him minimize this.

HOW IN THE HELL was that interview treated more like he was hiding an alcohol problem and less like, i dunno, HIM BEING A SERIAL CHILD ABUSER???

Him talking about him and this 10 year old saying “we both just sat there & didn’t move a muscle” is acting like him and this 10 year old were both equally as confused and caught off guard

Calls himself a '10-15 year old boy' when explaining his own sexual assault, but calls the 10-year old child he assaulted a 'young woman'. Wow.

The fact that the 7th Heaven show was so goddamn sanctimonious just makes this whole story all the worse. He was a true wolf in sheep's clothing.

When a perpetrator, reflecting on his behaviour, refers to his ten year old victim as a "young woman", you know he's still dangerous.

He recounts it in such detail it shows how many times he’s played back that memory. He reminisces.

Can we all just give a huge shoutout to Faye Grant for absolutely scorching his world with that recording? Because what an absolute goddess.

In the taped counseling session when his wife confronts him about exposing himself to a 10 year old, he seems to think it makes him sound less disgusting by saying she was 11, then 12, then 13. It’s as if it he’s describing an affair he had with another woman, rather than molesting an innocent little girl. Truly monstrous.

"I looked up and he was COMPLETELY naked"

To anyone reading this: BE RUDE AND FREAK OUT. If someone is doing something like this to you, BE RUDE AND FREAK OUT. Wish I had been taught this as a girl instead of "be quiet, be good"
