there was a thread earlier about this...........there is a tape where he admits to having done this.......with 3 girls.........ranging in age from 10 to 13..........he's admitted it on tape (he had no clue he was being tapped by his wife) and in a written declaration................................raven

It seems from the tapes he did not actually have intercourse with them but exposed himself and had them touch his p____.That is bad enough , but it could have been worse.

Nancy said he had resigned from several orginizations. Not much really. They were some other lawyers on and they discussed several topics. I didn't get to watch the entire program. I did read that a relative of his wife or ex, told her he exposed himself to her and fondled her when she stayed with them as a house guest as a child. His wife ignored the issue for many years due to him denying it, but several years ago said she believed her.

Do you believe the wife?

I thought that it is illegal to secretly tape another person without their knowledge,

Depends on the state. This happened in a state that does not require a person to know they are being taped. Never thought about it but one lawyer brought this up - how many times have you called medical, financial institutions, etc. and they say" "this may be recorded for monitoring and training purposes". He said - that complies with the "you are now notified that you are being recorded". Never thought about that.

My issue with this is that this all came up as part of a contentious divorce and supposedly this was taped in 2012. SO, why did it take 2 years to surface? Aren't doctors/law enforcement/teachers required by law to investigate/report these type acts on children?

Yes, why now,...not taking up for him, but wondering if it is true.....if it is, that's terrible,.....but I know innocent people have been accused and had their lives affected, so lets be sure.

If a therapist heard this, he/she is a mandated reporter and would have reported it. It would have then been investigated. And charges filed. My verdict is - why now? Divorce propaganda?

I'd like to believe he's innocent, but how do you explain the recording with his voice talking about it? And what is this "disclosure" he refers to in the recording? I suspect he's guilty in this.

Maybe his wife wants more money, aren't they in a divorce merry go round?

She probably did this to get more money but now she is stopping any future money coming in for him so how does it help her to make these allegations?

Whether he is innocent or guilty his career is over.

I heard on Inside Edition that there is a woman about to file charges he molested her years ago. This may not play out well for him at all. He has also resigned from The Actor's Guild.

If some of the stories reported on TMZ this morning are true then his soon to be ex-wife should also be investigated. She has known about his supposed-ed proclivities for many...many years and was willing to keep quiet...yet is now using it against him to get a bigger settlement. She is no innocent in this.

The wife should be charged with child endangerment if she did in fact hide this. To come out now just for money is just plain sick!

First the experts must prove the tapes are unedited and are him. If they do I think he and his wife and the therapist should be held accountable. All of them.

Amen! I am not so sympathetic to her the more she opens her mouth.

This entire situation is so strange. On Nan Grace someone reported that the wife wanted her half of the divorce settlement because she feared him being sued and them taking her half away. So perhaps something has been happening behind the scenes that we don't know about....such as in someone was going to press charges on him already. Still, the wife should not have let this child molestation situation continue. Who would want to be married to someone like that?! Maybe they both have multiple mental health issues. Something is definitely not right here.

Sounds like they deserve each other and should both be charged!

Exactly!.....anyone can say anything, anyone can make a recording,......... if he did it, I want him punished to the fullest extent.
