Investigation Discovery announced the six-part docuseries Hollywood Demons, in which each two-hour episode will cover a different horror story from the industry. The first episode details the downfall of actor Stephen Collins.

Best known for playing Rev. Eric Camden on 7th Heaven for 11 years, Collins was first investigated for sexually abusing underage girls in 2012. The investigation followed a leaked video of Collins admitting the crimes to his therapist. The footage, recorded unbeknownst to Collins or his therapist, was allegedly taken by Collins’ estranged wife, Faye Grant.

Following this 2014 statement, Collins gave an interview to ABC News’ 20/20 where he adamantly insisted that he was, “absolutely not attracted, physically or sexually attracted to children.”
