Faye Grant Says Ex-Husband Stephen Collins Actions ‘Sickening’


Faye Grant isn’t mincing her words about what her ex-husband is alleged to have done.

CBS News is reporting that Grant had filed, as part of their divorce proceedings in 2012, a claim that she discovered the 7th Heaven actor had inappropriate sexual relations with children.

Grant, an actor herself, is probably best known as one of the stars of the original series V. Grant and Collins had been married for 27 years, having only one daughter, Kate, 25.

According to the document, Grant and Collins separated in 2012 after Grant allegedly learned “for the first time that Stephen had been living a secret life.” The declaration claims, in the presence of a therapist, Collins admitted that he had “engaged in a long term pattern of sexually abusing minor children, including sexually molesting three young girls over a decade ago.”

Hollywood Life also reveals that Grant “woke up to learn that an extremely private recording I handed over to the authorities in 2012 per their request in connection with a criminal investigation was recently disseminated to the press. I had no involvement whatsoever with the release of the tape to the media.”

“I believe that Stephen used his celebrity status to engender the trust of the families of the children he molested,” Grant’s declaration claims. “I further believe that there have been other victims, but he has thus far only confessed to those three girls.”

The document alleges that Collins admitted that one of the victims lived in Los Angeles, while two others resided in New York.

“The two victims in New York were apparently molested over the course of several years, from the ages of 10-14 years old,” Grant claims in the document. “My understanding is that all three of these victims are now over the age of 26.”

Grant says that she believes one of the victims filed a sexual assault complaint in New York.

Grant, 57, insists in the papers that she had no idea of her husband’s alleged behavior.

“Again, I had no knowledge of Stephen’s secret life until January 2012,” the document reads. “I never witnessed anything first-hand that would have given me any indication of what Stephen was doing. After Stephen admitted to molesting the three young girls, I reported his acts to the police in both Los Angeles County and New York City.”

It is legal in California to secretly record conversations in an effort to gather evidence if the person is believed to have committed a felony.
