Stephen Collins is not expected to be prosecuted for the decades' old molestations to which he confessed on tape.
While there's no statute of limitations on child molestation in NY state, the formal complaint to police doesn't appear to have been filed before the family member victim was 26 years old.
The family member has confirmed that she is not planning to sue Collins in civil court, even though there's a taped confession working in her favor. She doesn't want his money, but came forward and is helping LE in investigating more recent potential molestations so that Collins can be stopped and hopefully held criminally responsible.
