Faye Grant, the estranged wife of embattled actor Stephen Collins, has made her first public statements since the leaking of a recording she made in 2012.

The recording (below) stems from a therapy session she attended with Collins in which the former 7th Heaven star appears to admit that he molested three girls between the ages of 11 and 13.

"There was one moment of touching where her hand, I put her hand on my penis," the actor allegedly says in the clip, adding that he exposed himself to the same girl "a couple of times."

Grant and Collins are in the middle of an ugly divorce, prompting many to assume she’s behind the release of this damning audio.

But Grant claims otherwise.

Said the actress in a statement to E! News this afternoon:

"I woke up today to learn that an extremely private recording I handed over to the authorities in 2012 per their request in connection with a criminal investigation was recently disseminated to the press. I had no involvement whatsoever with the release of the tape to the media."

The New York Police Department has confirmed that a complaint has been filed against Collins and that the Manhattan Special Victims Unit is investigating the case. Two detectives from that squad were sent to speak with Grant last Wednesday.

In the meantime, Collins has been fired from Ted 2 and resigned from the National Board of the Screen Actors Guild.

TMZ, meanwhile, has obtained the 2014 divorce documents filed by Grant.

In these papers, she claims Collins "admitted that he had sexually molested 3 underage girls over a decade ago:  At least two of these girls were molested over the course of several years."

Via a declaration, Grant writes that is "sickened by Stephen’s actions” and adds:

"I have urged Stephen multiple times to seek treatment for pedophilia, but "he has refused to seek proper help or hospitalization for the predilection toward children."

She also says that she has no knowledge of Collins’ past behavior prior to January 2012.
