“7th Heaven” actor Stephen Collins has reportedly spoken out about the moment he sexually abused a young girl in 1973, according to the NY Daily News.

During his interview with Yahoo! Global News Anchor Katie Couric. the 67-year-old actor, who played Reverend Eric Camden on “7th Heaven,” reportedly stated that he is not a pedophile, despite the details of his inappropriate sexual conduct with three underage girls.

“I am not,” answered Stephen Collins when asked if he was a pedophile, according to E! News.

He added, “A pedophile is someone who is mainly or wholly attracted to children. I’m not. I had a distortion in my thinking that, where I acted out in those ways. But I’m absolutely not attracted, physically or sexually attracted to children. I’m just not.”

Collins reportedly went on to explain that he never was a pedophile.

“You know, I remember talking about this once with a therapist and the therapist saying, assuring me that this, these incidents were such that if someone with that attraction would have acted many more times, many more. They were, they were terrible and I regret them deeply, but I was not looking. I don’t, I don’t look at young women that way. I don’t and I never did,” explained Collins.

The woman he reportedly molested in 1973 has refused to accept his apology.

“Stephen is minimizing the incident,” the woman stated, according to TMZ.

The woman added, “It was not just a spontaneous touching, that aggression resulted in him ejaculating.”
