I find his alleged acts as abhorrent as the rest but the way he got found out is rather disgusting IMO. Very classy the selling of the tapes to TMZ as well.

Would even be legal to record someone in a therapy session?

 

[Belnakor]

he was playing a pastor so maybe he could just claim he was method acting.

Jessica Biel was in 7th heaven.

This is not a shot at you.

In general I couldnt give a flying f* how they are exposed (no pun), the bigger the humiliation, the better I say.

I guess then again, being serious though there are the victims who sadly may want to remain quiet and not come forward.

The Hey Dad actors claimed their careers nosedived, I could see why actors in Hollywood would want to keep quiet if it happened to them.

No responses from the 7th Heaven female actors either confirming or denying. The silence is deafening which makes me feel where there is smoke .......

I'm not one for going on witch hunts when it comes to crime and abuse. If the allegations are true the American legal system will deal with the allegations and act accordingly

In general the room of a therapist for offenders seeking rehabilitation with no intention to re-offend should be a safe place for people to say certain things. If it isn't you have the possibility of catching this one offender with a multitude of other offenders not seeking help because of it resulting in more children subjected to this overall.

Im fairly confident that if you have admitted to a crime, the therapist has the right without breaching confidence to inform the authorities. At least in Australia.

The problem with vigilante groups is not only do some go overboard, they jeopardize the case against the accused who often gets acquitted as a result of a technicality.

If you have the time, watch the doco it is a very interesting and eye opening. Without giving too much away. Stinson did get these criminals to receive a conviction and no children were used. The way they set up the criminals there was no way that they could get acquitted. Copy cats though may try and fail as you suggested and get off on a technicality.

In California, it’s legal to secretly record conversations to gather evidence if the person is believed to have committed a violent felony — molesting a child under the age of 14 counts as such.

Sincerely hope that once they called cut, a quick trip to the toilet for Collins was as far as that went.

Creepy indeed.
