AceShowbiz - A woman who becomes victim of molestation involving actor Stephen Collins reportedly does not want to sue him. According to a new report by TMZ, the woman who is now in her 50s does not intend to sue him civilly although she fell victim to the molestation in the 70s.
The woman reportedly says that she is not after the "7th Heaven" actor's money. The victim, whose report in 2012 prompted an investigation by the NYPD, only wants to encourage other people especially those who allegedly were molested by Collins recently to come out so that he could be prosecuted.
Collins made headlines earlier this month after allegedly confessing to molesting and/or exposing himself to some underage girls in an audio secretly recorded during a therapy session in 2012. Three agencies are conducting investigations into the case. Last week, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed that they were investigating a report that he exposed himself to a 13-year-old girl in New York in 1983.
Collins, however, may escape charges due to the statue of limitations. He reportedly also molested children during the time his show aired, but there is no evidence of the allegations and no victims speak out.
