Stephen Collins, the former star of the popular TV series 7th Heaven, has been living a quiet life in Iowa with his wife Jenny Nagel who is 40 years his junior. However, his past continues to haunt him, and a new docuseries, Hollywood Demons, has brought his alleged sex abuse victims' stories back into the spotlight.

Collins' career came crashing down in 2014 when an audio recording surfaced, revealing him confessing to sex abuse allegations. The recording was made during a therapy session with his estranged wife, Faye Grant, in 2012. Collins later released a statement, admitting to molesting underage girls.

The new docuseries features an interview with April Price, who alleges that Collins exposed himself to her when she was just 13 years old. Price recounts two separate incidents, including one where Collins invited her to his apartment and returned naked.

The producers of Hollywood Demons revealed that they reached out to over 100 associates of Collins, but nearly everyone declined to participate or didn't respond. Collins, now 77, remains largely out of the public eye, but his past continues to follow him.

Hollywood Demons premieres on March 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Investigation Discovery (ID).

Viewers without cable can watch it using streaming services like Philo. Free trials are also available through DIRECTV Stream and Hulu + Live TV ). The show can additionally be streamed on Sling TV, which includes ID, and on Max, where new episodes will stream simultaneously with ID.

Episodes will air weekly, with each instalment running two hours and covering a new topic.
