April Price decided to watch some television after walking her dog when she felt her past came back to haunt her.
It was 2014, and a news program had reported there was audio of former “7th Heaven” star Stephen Collins purportedly confessing to engaging in sexual misconduct with underage girls, which was leaked to TMZ. The recording was made during a 2012 counseling session and given to police by the actor’s estranged wife.
“I remember just standing there and watching it play out and listening to that confession,” Price told Fox News Digital. “I know that even though they bleeped out the name, I knew he was saying my name. I knew he was describing me. That was an absolute gut punch. Then the worst part for me, at that point, was finding out that I wasn’t the only little girl.”
