Stephen Collins' Wife How Dare You Make ME the Villain 10/8/2014 3:12 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

Stephen Collins is a lowlife who is deflecting his confessed child molestation by falsely accusing his wife of offering to cover up his misdeeds for a hefty price ... this according to her lawyer.

Faye Grant's attorney, Larry Ginsberg, tells TMZ, Collins' lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has defamed Grant by accusing her of extortion. Kaplan says Grant held the audio over Collins' head for a price.

Ginsberg says Grant did not peddle the audiotape to the media ... rather she gave it to both the NYPD and the LAPD 2 years ago after he refused to get help for pedophilia.

And contrary to Kaplan's claim Grant wanted to fleece Collins out of his entire fortune ... Ginsberg says, "Faye never asked to receive more than the 50% of the community property to which she is entitled."

As for the extortion claim ... Ginsberg says absolutely not true. He does say Grant requested he create a trust fund for their daughter and make a contribution to a charitable organization benefiting sexually abused kids, but Ginsberg says it's outrageous to call that extortion.

Does a statute of limitations apply in cases of child molestation? Because a child may not say anything until years later. This creep needs to pay big-time, and I don't mean in divorce money to the ex.

I think in the jurisdictions relevant to this case, the statute starts to run from the moment the victim makes a police report

The statute of limitations varies by state. Apparently this happened in NY who has the shortest statute of limitations on these kinds of crimes - 5 years. This supposedly took place in the early 70s so the statute of limitations has run out.

I don't know the details of this situation so I might be wrong, but wasn't the tape obtained illegally and thus they have no evidence?

It was explained earlier in the thread - in CA it's legal to record someone w/o their knowledge if you're gathering evidence of a felony.

In the past I've seen quite a few molestation cases get shockingly low sentences. The fact that he's now radioactive may be the worst sentence he gets... although that probably is a life sentence... no one is going to forget this.
