Stephen Collins wants you to feel sorry for him ... and it is just not working. The former Seventh Heaven Star, who has publicly admitted to molesting three girls, sat down to talk about the sexual abuse for an interview with Katie Couric, which airs on 20/20 on Friday.

“In 1973, there were two occasions when I exposed myself to this young woman,” he admitted to Couric. “Several months later, she came to visit and stay with us, with my first wife and me. My wife had gone to sleep, and she and I were watching TV alone together… I knew that something unthinkably wrong had just happened that I couldn’t take back.”

In the sitdown the 67-year-old said, “I’m a flawed person.” The former fictional pastor continued,“In the church, it’s actually one of the things I love about the church… it’s really one of the main things about the Christian faith, is you know, Christ said in so many ways, ‘Bring me that… which about you is broken, bring it,’ and most people are broken in some way.”

Saying you are "flawed" is really an understatement. "Flawed" is more like: "My apartment is messy even though I am 31-year-old adult who should know how to clean up after herself, or sometimes I yell at my mother when she doesn't deserve it, or I buy clothes for myself instead of shopping for Christmas presents for my family." "Flawed" is not: "OH I MOLESTED SEVERAL GIRLS!" We really don't think Collins is grasping the gravity of what he has done.

In October, Collins' sexual abuse was brought to light when TMZ published audio recordings that the actor's estranged wife, Faye Grant, secretly taped during a therapy session in which he confessed to abusing three young girls.
