As previously detailed in very sordid manner, Stephen Collins is accused of molesting three girls between the ages of 10 and 13.
The veteran television actor appears to have admitted to these indecent acts in a 2012 therapy session recorded by estranged wife Faye Grant, who is involved in a messy divorce from Collins.
The recording went viral last week and no one in Collins’ camp has denied the charges against him, all of which stem from incident that allegedly took place prior to 1984.
However, according to an email obtained by TMZ, Collins also committed an act of sexual misconduct as recently as 2007.
The message, sent by Grant to Collins at some point last year, claims the actor exploited his role as Reverend Eric Camden on 7th Heaven to get close to parents of an unnamed child.
Without explaining exactly what happened, Grant then accuses Collins of molesting this child.
She writes that “prosecutors love special circumstances” and then describes how Collins used his fame to gain the trust of these parents before getting their kid alone.
Grant and Collins are battling over $14 million in divorce court, with those close to Collins claiming his wife is making up assertions in order to make even look even worse.
For example, Grant has also supposedly sent Collins an email in which she recounts his relief over the couple welcoming a daughter into the world… because Collins wouldn’t have been able to resist having oral sex with a son.
In regard to this new allegation of sexual molestation, a source connected to Collins tells TMZ:
“The notion that Stephen used his role on “7th Heaven” for any improper purpose is completely false and just another example of Faye fabricating a story to gain an advantage in the divorce proceedings.”
