The therapist will not report unless the patient says that the molestation is ongoing or that he plans to do it again in the future. The recordings all describe past actions.

Hadn't heard about this. So sad if it is all true.

Wow, that's disappointing. I liked the show, and his character, too, but actually "discovered" Stephen Collins many years before that in a movie called The Promise with Kathleen Quinlan. If his admission is true, I agree that he needs to be prosecuted and not allowed to be around children.

Me too, one of my favorites. then he was Dan Broderick in the Betty Broderick movie, also in First Wives Club, and one of Sela Ward's hubbys in Sisters, after they killed off Clooney from the show.

I always liked that show but my mother hated him and always said he was a villain. I wonder now what she saw in him.

I just read that he won't be charged due to a statute of limitations.

I find it very disturbing that someone can legally secretly tape a therapy session. I'm not making a judgment on what he supposedly did. But the method obtaining the evidence is disturbing to me.
