The New York Police Department confirmed to BuzzFeed News that there is a formal complaint against Collins and the Manhattan Special Victims Squad is investigating his alleged sexual contact with minors. It is looking into cases involving at least three children.
During a therapy session in 2012, Collins allegedly told his wife, actress Faye Grant, that over the years he had molested and exposed himself to at least three girls as young as 11, according to the report.
Grant secretly taped the confession on the advice of her lawyer because California law permits secret recording of conversations for evidence in case of a violent felony. She and Collins are in the process of a divorce.
TMZ said it had a copy of the tape with Collins' confession.
